They were one of the leading bands in the so-called New Yorkshire scene, along with fellow Sheffielders Arctic Monkeys, Milburn, The Long Blondes and Bromheads Jacket.
In 2005, the band recorded a live session for Phill Jupitus' show on BBC 6Music, and played the South By Southwest festival in Texas.
[1] Not wanting to give up music, they quickly formed two new bands - Park Brigade (Jubby) and The Flying Squad (Ben, Birchy, and Mark).
In March 2010, The Flying Squad changed their name to Black Flowers and Mark played his final show in December of the same year.
Their debut 12 track album "No Fighting In The War Room" was initially due to be released on 18 June 2007 but was then put back to January 2008.
