The band was originally formed in late 2005 by Hetson and Paulson, who were joined by Jason Christopher (New Dead Radio) on bass and vocals, Roy Mayorga (Nausea) on drums, and Christian Martucci (The Strychnine Babies, Dee Dee Ramone) on vocals.

He was temporarily replaced by Wade Youman (Unwritten Law), and later by Ty Smith (Guttermouth, Bullets and Octane).

Mayorga returned in time to record the debut album and has been permanently replaced by Dave Raun of Lagwagon.

Other members of the band cited Hetson's conflicting commitments with Bad Religion and Circle Jerks as the reason for his departure.

"[4] According to a MySpace blog post titled "in the war room", the band recorded 14 songs total: "12 originals, an alice cooper cover & a surprise track to be released early next year."
