Career edit
Having toured and worked with each other, Sage Francis and B. Dolan wanted to put aside time to create music together.[3] However, the two couldn't find time in their schedules until they were invited to perform at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[3] There, they started writing their new collaborative songs.[3]
Epic Beard Men's official debut single, "War on Christmas", was released in 2017.[4] In 2018, the duo released the Season 1 EP,[5] as well as "Five Hearts", a single from the EP.[6] In 2019, the duo released the first studio album, This Was Supposed to Be Fun.[7] It includes "You Can't Tell Me Shit", which became The Stranger's "Inbox Jukebox Track of the Day".[8] The album was placed at number 20 on PopMatters' "20 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2019" list.[9]
