Musically the band combined ska and metal with elements of rock, punk with a smattering of rasta vocal and groove.
The band were together for eight years with Reese Roper, songwriter and singer splitting away to join another band.
Their last album "The End Is Near" is a 2 cd compilation,some made in the studio and some tracks made live at Fillmore in Denver, CO.
The band never received any significant music industry awards, and received relatively little attention in mainstream media. Their biggest national exposure came when a song by the band appeared on the TV series Boston Legal in October 2005, almost two years after their last show.
They often performed their concerts while wearing full costumes (mostly Mr. Roper). On one tour, they told fans to bring sock puppets on stage and help sing along. The socks were then donated to a local homeless shelter. Their fan base was diverse, ranging from the socially and religiously outcast to the parents of teenage fans.
