Another magazine Les Inrockuptibles called their music "disc pop very precisely American charm that brought a West Coast wind, it is a dozen romantic and naive ballads".

They became popular taking part in many festivals and music events. In 2012, Granville performed at Festival Papillons de nuit and Rock en Seine. Their debut single was "Jersey" that was released on 6 June 2012, a tribute to the island of Jersey near Normandie.
