They've been featured on/in Conan O'Brien's Team Coco, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, SPIN, and thousands of radio and tv stations around the world, but they're perhaps best known for winning a landmark case against the government in the Supreme Court of the United States.
