Jessica Hernandez grew up in West Bloomfield, an affluent suburb of Detroit. She is the daughter of a Detroit-born Mexican-American mother and Cuban immigrant father. [1] Her parents lived above her family's restaurant before she was born, and she worked in the family's Mexicantown Bakery [1] from third grade. She sang in choirs starting in grade school and performed in theater in high school. While in college in Chicago she started singing in rock bands. [2] By 2009, she was ready to start a band. The band name originated from the suggestion of a former drummer who had a 1987 Delta car.

After self-releasing the album Weird Looking Women In Too Many Clothes Jessica Hernandez signed a record deal with Instant Records, and then released the Demons EP, Secret Evil album, and Deceptacon single.

Telephone/Teléfono (2017)
