The band was formed by siblings Rob and Sara Montejo, with Rick Hodgson, Steve Wagner, and Tim Supplee, all of whom worked together in a local record store, and had left or dropped out of college prior to forming the band.

The band was signed by UK label Native Records,[2] their first release being the single "My Deranged Heart" in April 1991, gaining comparisons with the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Galaxie 500.

[1] While they were in the UK, Native arranged for them to record a session for the John Peel BBC radio show, which was broadcast in February 1992.

Sara Montejo had left earlier and Supplee had been replaced on drums by Stroller White, but a disappointing response to the album saw the band split soon after its release.

Rob Montejo went on to form Love American Style, releasing "Undo" on Oxygen Records.
