During the Spring / Summer of 2004 their first album "Straight-Jacket Romance" evolved and was recorded with Joe Viers at Schwab Studios in Columbus, Ohio and then released in November.
Their second endeavor sent them back to Schwab Studios with Joe V. in the fall of 2006 to lay down tracks for their next album. Their hard work had paid off.
"Closing The Chapter" had enabled the band to do what they like best...and that is to deliver to their fans the music that has made them what they are today.
The winter of 2008 marked the release of their most current material with their EP entitled, “Alone in This.” One of the tracks, “Belong in the Dirt,” featured guest vocals from Noah Robinson from the band Bleed the Sky. This EP is currently being shopped around in hopes of landing a deal and continuing the dream even further.
