History

Their 1996 debut album Hopelessness and Shame was recorded by Steve Albini. Albini was so impressed by them that he brought them to the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he co-curated in 2004. [2]

The band's first two albums were on Compulsiv, and their third came out on Joe Lally's now-defunct Tolotta Records label; [3] later releases have been on At a Loss Recordings in the US and Monotreme Record in UK and Europe. Their most recent release, 2012's 7th. Direction, was released via German label Exile On Mainstream. [4]

Extensive touring included supporting Clutch on a 2005 US tour. They toured in the UK with Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity in 2006. [5]

The band got its name from a character in the 1880 Russian novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. [6]
