Luke left the band in 2012. In 2012, the band was discovered by UK YouTube broadcasting group The Yogscast.

The band is signed to the Yogscast Studios record label, which is run by Sparkles *. They were later commissioned by Namco Bandai Games to compose the song "GO!! Fighting Action Power" as the credits theme for their ''Bravoman'' web-series on ShiftyLook, and later "Wonder Wars" as the theme song for the ''Wonder Momo'' anime series.〔http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-29/wonder-momo-game-spawns-web-anime-by-graphinica-and-new-game〕 Sparkles * left The Yogscast in 2014 The name "Area 11" is a reference to the anime ''Code Geass'', as Japan is referred to as Area 11 in the series, with its citizens referred to as Elevens, a name which has come to collectively describe Area 11 fans.
