In 2008, GPO set about turning the Irish indie scene into a brighter prospect Internationally after releasing their debut EP to great reviews, and featuring on US compilation 'Future Sounds'.

The band began touring destroying venues and eardrums in Ireland, the UK and Germany. Their tracks were heard by The Notwist producer, Mario Thaler, who later recorded tracks with the band at Dublin's Apollo Studios. Their October 3rd release 'Ballet Shoes' is a result of this meeting.
