First releasing material on Rok Lok (The Making of a Conversation) and Creep Records/Traffic Violation Records (Where You Are and Where You Want to Be), they eventually signed to Revelation records and released what would be their third and final record, Sirens, in 2003. After a follow-up tour of Europe, On The Might Of Princes disbanded in May 2004. [1]
