Their first single release was the "Fem in a Black Leather Jacket" EP released in November 1992 on Lookout! Records. The band has had around a dozen different drummers, a majority of which were within the first three years of the band's existence. While the band has not released any new music since 2016's "Quite Contrary", they still regularly perform live.
