In 1984, Decter wrote and submitted a song titled "Roddy Pipers Rowdy Hearts Club Band" for The Wrestling Album.

Previously in 1985, Decter had also joined Disorderly Conduct, a metal-edged punk band also from South Florida featuring a 17 year old Casey Chaos.

The Ex-Idols released their debut album Social Kill in 1994 on Sony Music sub-label Relativity Records, and toured with English punk band the U.K. Subs.

In 2000, Decter toured and played in various bands including Drown, Diatribe, and ex-bandmate and Finneran's post-Ex-Idols group Tuscaurora and, in 2004, rejoined Casey Chaos in Amen.

Decter, in conjunction with Anne Kadrovich and Nick Lane of Tuscaurora, also compiled a CD of Finneran's death-themed songs entitled Goodbye which was given to all in attendance.
