They are one of the best-known Hungarian bands outside Hungary in their genre, having received coverage in UK, US, and Canadian online magazines.

With their first full-length release Listen under their belts, they started playing concerts more frequently in Hungary, and nearby countries like Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Serbia, and Slovakia.

Touring highlights included the support slot for the sold out Oct 2004 Budapest gig of veteran English punk rock band Toy Dolls, and several festival appearances.

On July 15, 2021, Bankrupt released the song "Pekingi nyár" (Beijing Summer) and its English-language version "The Plane To Toronto", in protest of the detention of former singer Michael Kovrig.

His stage name was Michael K., a reference to Kafka's novel The Trial,[9] which is one of the books he requested when he was granted a virtual visit from the Canadian ambassador while in detention in China.
