History

In 2003, the band added a second guitar player, Aaron "Skeet" Childress, formerly of National Green, and moved to Los Angeles. At this time it also released it first recording, an independently recorded, financed and released LP, My First Time, on its own Clockrock Recordings. Despite its limited pressing, the record was reported in ezines such as theprp.com, [4] Loudside, [5] and Opuszine. [6]

In early 2008, the band signed a deal with the new label Modernist Movement. Atlas Drugged was released on February 9, 2010, by Modernist Movement Recordings. [7] Atlas Drugged was produced by Brian Virtue. Decibel magazine referred to the band in a review of Atlas Drugged, "Look What I Did crush on political philosophers, put Latin words in their song titles and generally get off on being a bunch of wiseasses to spazzed-out Adderall punk." [8]

Zanzibar III: Analog Prison was named the Best Metal Album of 2015 by The Nashville Scene. [9]

The band released a full new song "If I Were You I Wouldn't" in January 2016 on its YouTube account, followed by "Fireball" in June 2016, the first songs released since Zanzibar III : Analog Prison. [10]

The band was named after friend's child said the phrase, "Mommy, look what I did," to her mother about a drawing when Donegan was talking to her over the phone discussing what the band's name should be. [11]

In September 2020, the band announced that Evan Brewer had joined on bass guitar, replacing Chad Omen, with new music underway in the studio. [12]
