They released the single "Bridges", which went to No. 8 on the New Zealand single chart, and signed with Capitol and Polydor Records. They released their self-titled debut EP, ''Broods'', on 30 January 2014, which was followed by a full-length album, ''Evergreen'', on 22 August 2014. ==History== Born in Nelson, New Zealand, Caleb and Georgia Nott have performed together since childhood. They grew up in a musical family with three other siblings, and would go along with their parents to weddings and church performances in an ABBA tribute band.〔 They won a talent competition, "Richmond's Got Talent", as teenagers at Richmond Mall in 2010. While attending Garin College, they were members of the indie rock band, The Peasants, who won the Smokefreerockquest music competition in 2011. The band split in late-2012, shortly after winning a grant from NZ On Air. Georgia began studying popular music at the University of Auckland. Caleb studied industrial design. They both dropped out of university to pursue Broods. Broods was formed in Auckland in early 2013. The brother-sister project began collaborating with music producer Joel Little, whom they met as a judge at the 2011 Smokefreerockquest. He produced Lorde's 2013 hit single, "Royals". While considering names for the band, their manager suggested Broods. The band liked the double meaning, relating to family and a feeling of brooding in their music.〔 They released their debut single, "Bridges", online in October 2013. The song was picked up by Idolator and other music blogs, earning over 200,000 streams in a week. MTV described the track as "a bittersweet synth-pop echo chamber". "Bridges" debuted at No. 8 in the New Zealand single chart in January 2014,〔 and was chosen as the U.S. iTunes Store single of the week in February 2014. Broods signed with Capitol Records worldwide and Polydor in the UK and Europe in December 2013. Their song, "Never Gonna Change", was made available for streaming in anticipation of their debut EP, ''Broods'', which was released on 30 January 2014.

They returned to the U.S. to make their television debut on ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' in July, and toured in support of Sam Smith.
