Coming from aSouth Buffalo -Irish background, the group wanted to play rock with an Irish bent (often called "Irish-Rock" or "Celtic-Rock"). In keeping with that theme, the band took its name from a passage from the Frank McCourt memoir "Angela's Ashes ".Mike Jordan, who performed vocals and played the guitar, left the band in November 2004. The band has remained a five-piece group ever since. In 2006, a compilation of their first three albums and EPs entitled "Brilliant, Sad & Guilty" was released. The two disc album includes interviews, live tracks, and studio outtakes.
