[3] Then they focussed on creating experimental guitar pop, with their debut single, "Sedatives for Dead Radars", issued in 1995 on Steven Stavrakis' Fellaheen label.

[5] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt it was a "mix of early Pavement-style lo-fi guitar pop and idiosyncratic backing, it garnered widespread interest among the indie cognoscenti.

In October 1998 they issued, "Death to the Apple Gerls", on Festival's in-house indie label Reliant – which was set up by Bruce Milne (former CEO of Au Go Go Records).

For the first time the group incorporated electronica in their music,[2] they also built a recording studio, Gerlog, in Alexandria where band members produced and remixed tracks.

[6] Their next single, "Enter, Space Capsule" (April 1999), provided four versions of the song, including one at Gerlog by band members and one mixed by Josh Abrahams.

[7] Another single, "Ghost Patrol", followed in September, which featured guest lead vocals by Naoko Matsumoto of Sydney-based group Funky Terrorist.

[8] Cameron Webb of Oz Music Project described as "Hovering somewhere between the frantic mesh of screaming and guitars of 'Death to the Apple Gerls' and electro blips and beats of 'Enter, Space Capsule', 'The Deer in You' provides an enticing glimpse at their new recordings.

"[9] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2001 they were nominated for Best Video for Paul Butler and Scott Walton's directorial work on "The Deer in You".

"[14] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2002 they received three more nominations: Best Dance Release and Best Video (directed by Jolyon Watkins) for "Dust My Selecta", and Producer of the Year for When Young Terrorists Chase the Sun (by Gerling and Magoo).

[15] Oz Music Project's Semone Maksimovic felt the group were "dipping their hand into the increasingly popular electro clash, disco punk bucket to fill their hands with both dirt and glitter to throw our way... [it is] more indicative of their capricious live shows, danceable, loud, catchy, energetic and easy to digest, it's a record that will go down well in clubs or to help liven up a party, even a good driving record, but one rule remains, it has to be up loud!

[15] Maksimovic described it as "a mighty fine slice of sexy, trashy disco punk for us all to enjoy... [it] brings to mind The Detroit Grand Poobah's 'Sandwiches' am"[17] Their fourth studio album, 4, was released on 20 March 2006, which reached the Top 100.

[22][23] Jep and Dep's debut album, Word Got Out received 4 out of 5 stars from The Sydney Morning Herald's Bernard Zuel[24] and Rolling Stone Australia[25] As of 2024, Cross has released five instrumental guitar albums under the moniker D.C Cross, Ecstatic Racquet (2019),Terabithian (2020),Hot-wire the Lay-low (2022),WIZRAD (2023) and Glookies Guit (2024) .
