The band was formed in 2017 after Ella Harris and Josh Baxter met at a house party and discovered that they had common musical interests. Within a few weeks of deciding on this, they played their first show at a pub that Harris worked in. Their first band name was PVA Presents, after which they shortened their name to PVA. Louis Satchell joined the band in December 2018, on drums. They performed at
The Windmill, Brixton and several venues in
London. After seeing their set at
Green Man, they connected with
Dan Carey. On his label,
