The band's debut full-length Can’t Make a Living was released on June 15, 2010.[3] It received positive reviews from critics[4][5] and landed on several websites lists of the year's best music.[6][7] The album's cover artwork was made by Corey Ayd of Banner Pilot.[8] A video for “Skateboards for Afghanistan” was released as a promotion for Skateistan.[9] Can’t Make a Living was followed up by an appearance on the UnderStandablyBroken USB mixtape compilation[10]
