Black's musical career began at the age of ten when she co-wrote with pop rock artist Bif Naked for the track "Violence", released on Lava/Atlantic records.
The band was signed to AOL Time Warner's record label where it released two albums, Seeing Red and Goes on a Field Trip.
The success of these records landed the band on international showcases, along with starting a blitz on Canada's media including several high rotation music videos and spots on national TV and radio shows.
The band's premier single "I'm Afraid of Britney Spears" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Dude, Where's My Car?.
At the end of 2007, Britt Black announced on her MySpace page that she was taking a break from touring to write and record her second album.
