Their debut album was cited as psychobilly,[2] but their second played squarely as swing revival due to the appearance of the horn section of Royal Crown Revue.

[5] In 1996 the band gained the bass talents of Amber Reeves and the drumming of Christina Hock, forming an all-female rhythm section.

The band's sound wound up being somewhere between the Stray Cats and The Reverend Horton Heat,[7] or "like a rockabilly version of Mike Knott..."[8] Russinger wrote most of the lyrics,[4] addressing issues such as racism, the underground church in China, materialism, temptation, and internal spiritual battles with our sinful nature.

[1] This effort was produced by Billy Zoom (of X) and joined by the horn section of Royal Crown Revue, including Bill Ungerman, Mando Dorame, and Scotty Steen.

This album contained reworked spirituals and standard hymns such as "Amazing Grace"; Ruby Joe provided renditions of "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" and "Walk Dem Golden Stairs".
