The record deal came about after the founder of the label, Geoff Travis saw them perform numerous times, and he wanted to "facilitate what doing on a bigger scale". Girl Band released a number of limited 7" singles throughout 2014 on Any Other City records, and in December 2014 signed to Rough Trade Records. They then recorded a cover of " Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?" by techno artist Blawan, which furthered their reputation and expanded their fan base, setting them up for a handful of UK tour dates throughout April 2013. The band followed the single with the self-produced France 98 EP which was recorded live and released through Any Other City. Kiely played drums in Harrows and it was not until after Harrows disbanded that he attempted singing. They self-financed a music video for the track "Leave Again". In April 2012 they released their debut single "In My Head" on Any Other City Records. They did not sign to a record label whilst active and have uploaded what few songs they had recorded to YouTube and Myspace. Harrows formed when the members were in secondary school at the age of 16 and was described by Kiely and Fox as "a shit version of the Strokes". Duggan and Fox had played in the indie rock band Harrows. The band was formed in Dublin in July 2011 by vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan, bassist Daniel Fox and drummer Adam Faulkner.
