The four-member band was formed in 2011 and is currently made up of Delleile Ankrah, Kaine Ofoeme, Ben Sharples and Michael Welch, who all attended Calderstones School in Liverpool. They were previously signed with Universal Music Group but chose to continue independently after the release of their EPs The Show (2015) and MOOD (2017).
The band's name comes from Manchester's The Lowry Centre, which was the first venue the boys performed in.
