[14] The trio met after guitarist Nick Falcon posted ads on the internet and in music shops searching for "musicians interested in forming a band with a sound like The Ramones-meets-Buddy Holly at a Beef-and-Beer.

"[15] Attracting attention from the underground press and steady airplay on specialty radio[16][17] have enabled a frequent touring schedule.

In 2004, their music was licensed for broadcast on the fifteenth season of MTV's popular reality television series The Real World based in Philadelphia.
