[1][3][5] Formed in Gainesville, Florida in 2002 as a semi-eponymously-named solo project by frontman Damien Moyal,[6][7] the group has since been expanded to include other band members and co-songwriters.

[7][12][13][14] After leaving Gainesville, Florida-based As Friends Rust in February 2002,[15][16] Moyal began working on solo material under the moniker Rubbers.

[23][25] Some of the songs from the session appeared on Good Life Recordings' Various Artists compilation Good Life Recordings Presents: Never Surrender - The Best New Underground Music 2004-2005 (2004), the Vice magazine travel documentary and its soundtrack The Vice Guide to Travel (2006) and the Belgian soft porn films J'fais du porno et j'aime ça and Skin.

[29] Love Thongs was eventually renamed Stay Black, and the EP was put up for free download through the band's Bandcamp page in 2011.

[7][33][34] Like Good Life Recordings, Demons Run Amok Entertainment had released material by Moyal's other bands, including Culture, As Friends Rust, Morning Again and On Bodies.

[1][24] The band kicked-off their European tour by playing at Ieperfest in Ypres, Belgium, followed by shows in Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria and England.

[1][24][44][45] The band spent the last few months of 2018 playing shows around Michigan in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ypsilanti and Hamtramck, opening for Helen Money and Street Sects and performing at the No Rest Festival.

[8][52] In November 2020, Damien Done released the three-song EP Demos from the Year 2020, which includes working versions of the band's sophomore full-length album, Total Power.

[60] The album was scheduled for release through Mind Over Matter Records and Protagonist Music on May 19, 2023, but was delayed by several weeks due to pressing plant issues.
