Formed in 1996 by Rob Huddleston, Leer Baker, Chris Rupp and Russ Jones (Baker and Rupp later left), the band plays straightforward punk with small doses of rockabilly and country mixed into their sound. The band spent several years on tour playing with bands including Hot Water Music, ALL, The Bouncing Souls, Less Than Jake and city-mates Avail.

Since then, the band has only played occasional festival dates or local shows in their hometown of Richmond, Virginia. In 2017 Ann Beretta re ...
