Not long after its formation, the band began work on its debut EP. In December of the following year, they released a cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" on YouTube. The song was well-received, peaking at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 23 on the US Mainstream Rock Songs chart. As of June 2022, the video has received over 71 million views. Later in December 2014, the band’s first two singles from their debut EP - "Love, Lust, and Liars" and "The Enemy" - were released. The EP, Heart vs Mind, was released in January 2015 and reached number nine on the Billboard Rock Albums chart and number four on the Hard Rocks Albums chart. March 2015 saw founding member and rhythm guitarist Jordan Berger leave the band due to other commitments. He was replaced by Dylan Bowman. The rest of 2015 saw the band touring extensively. They embarked on the Heart vs. Mind Tour and the Massive Addictive Tour, followed by The Crossroads Tour in the summer. They also opened for Crown the Empire and Hollywood Undead on the Day of the Dead Tour that fall and for Pop Evil that December.
