The song 'Wings' was featured on this compilation and the film Masterminds with Patrick Stewart [2] and has since gone some way to leave a legacy for the band. [3] After the release of their debut album Jitters they toured Europe in September 1999 visiting the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Their second album Long Gone was released on Wild West/ Fluid Recordings and songs were featured in Party of Five, [4] Dawson's Creek, [5] Dangerous Minds, Gross Pointe, The Sopranos episode Denial, Anger, Acceptance, [6] and the movie Whiteboyz. [7]
