The band's first American performance was in October 2011 at Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival in Los Angeles, CA.[2] In November that year the band signed with Nettwerk Records, who re-released the Homesick Future EP in early 2012.[3] The album included the band's debut single, "Colours".
Beginning in 2012, the Young Liars began performing showcases at music festivals, including Rifflandia, NXNE and Sled Island in Canada.
