History

The band was initially formed in the early 2000s by singer P.J. Paslosky, guitarist Tommy Cooper and drummer Ian Kaplan. [2] The band went on hiatus soon after but reformed in 2008. [2]

Their first release with Misra Records was These Are the Days Gone By, a collection of previously released tracks which were remastered by Carl Saff along with two unreleased tracks. [3] The album features "Tropics of the Sand" with Kelley Deal of The Breeders and a cover of Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting". [4]

After leaving Misra, they recorded Mind Glitter for Anyway Records [5] an album PopMatters called "their best album to date." [6]

After the release of Mind Glitter, the band quietly went on hiatus partially thanks to the move of bassist Tod Weidner across the country, until a reunion show in Dayton was announced to be performed July 19, 2024.
