The band recorded two demos and toured throughout the Seattle area for roughly one year before they broke up on friendly terms in 1987.

[4] After the demise of their previous bands, Pollock joined Wright and Gohde to form My Sister's Machine along with bassist Chris Ivanovich.

Steve Kurutz of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars, calling it "a surprisingly strong record.

"[10] Mike Boehm of Los Angeles Times opined, "Diva moves at a more rapid gait than either Alice in Chains or Soundgarden, and it dispenses with the leaden grunge that characterized the Seattle sound until a year or so ago (recent efforts out of the city, including, 'Diva,' tend to be far more melodic and better written).

"[4] Jim Washburn (also of Los Angeles Times) described the band as "more melodic and propulsive than its Seattle soul mates Alice in Chains" when discussing the album, but was far less enthused when he saw them onstage, writing "those qualities flattened out into a lank-haired generic grunge that prompted much of the audience to exit long before the hourlong show had concluded.

Since the break-up of My Sister's Machine, Nick Pollock has fronted the bands Tanks of Zen[3] and Soulbender;[13] the latter also features longtime Queensrÿche guitarist Michael Wilton.
