[1] Active from 1995 to 2005 and for brief periods until 2016, the band released two full-length LPs: 2002's Burn It Black[2] and 2017's The Truth About You[3] (composed of songs that have been played live since 2004 at least).

[2] The band's major label debut, Burn It Black, was critically acclaimed, with Metallica's Lars Ulrich nominating it for the Shortlist Prize in 2002,[7] as well as appearing on Eddie Trunk's year-end top 10 list for 2002.

[8] The band was formed in 1995 by high school friends Danny Grady (lead vocals/guitar), Chris Wojtal (drums), and Steve Slovisky (bass) in Atlanta.

During the recording of the album, almost all of the executive team that had signed the band left Island/Def Jam,[21][22] including label head Lyor Cohen.

The original members, including lead guitarist Jade Lemons, would reunite for a final time in 2009, playing the charity event 500 Songs For Kids.
