In 2016, the Vaughns' music was featured on the MTV show, ''Brothers Green Eat'', and on the syndicated radio show, Little Steven's Underground Garage. That year, they also contributed and won the ''Third Annual 24 Hour Songwriting Challenge'', with the track "Vamos."

The Vaughns performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival, on October 6, 2018. Prior to the release of their debut album, The Vaughns released two more singles, "50%" and "Shout."
