After releasing a demo titled Thirty Two Point Five Hours, the band signed with Epic Records. The following year, they released a live extended play called Motion . The band's 1998 debut album, Fallout , was supported with a fifteen-month tour with Creed, Big Wreck, and Stabbing Westward. The album was the only to feature rhythm guitarist Craig Johnson, who was fired from the band due to undisclosed reasons. [3] [4] Their second and final album, Second Skin , was released in June 2001. [4]

In 2002, the future of the band began to look unlikely, and Kennedy began recording new music. [5] The band went on hiatus that year, and would ultimately disband.

After being fired from the band, Craig Johnson retired from the music scene and became a real estate agent. He was later killed in a gunfight with police on October 16, 2017. [6]
