The group first signed with Columbia Records the year prior.

The “Sucker” singers went on, “We were chasing our dream to play music and connect with others in a deep way that only music can provide. We were teenagers then… actually, Nick wasn’t even old enough to get into a PG-13 movie.”

“In the years that followed, you’ve given us a thousand lifetimes of incredible memories. We wake up each day filled with gratitude that you’ve been on this 20-year journey with us. Together, we have celebrated wins, made mistakes, overcome obstacles and grieved losses. Put simply: we’ve all grown up together,” they added.
