In 1997, the band released the "Tradition" 7" E.P. on
Prime Directive Records / Softcore. Following the success of the E.P., they signed toIndecision Records in 1997, and released their first album, "From The Depths Of Depression " in November 1998. The line-up for this release was Aaron Stone (vocals),Keith Barney (guitar),Aaron Lisi (guitar), Sean Rosenthal (bass) and Matt Horwitz (drums).After this release,
Keith Barney left to play withDeath By Stereo and subsequentlyThrowdown andEighteen Visions . Sean Rosenthal left for an opportunity to tour with Alt. Rock band Farside (who were signed toRevelation Records ), and later played in a band called The Lost (also on Indecision Records). Matt Horwitz also left and now plays in another hardcore outfit, Lovethyne. Therefore, the band's second release, in August, 2000, "When It Rains, It Pours " saw three line-up changes in Dan Sena (guitar), Jim Schwartz (bass) andJarrod Alexander who was fresh from drumming duties forDeath By Stereo .Next up was a 7" release with Bane on Indecision's Split Series. It featured two tracks which were not on the first two albums. It was recorded in December, 2000 and released on vinyl in February, 2001. It was also re-released on CD as part of Indecision's Split Series compilation in April, 2001.
In June, 2001, the band played their last show and disbanded.
