Their first album, Fit For Faded was released in 2003 on Renaissance Records, a New Orleans label. In 2004, they were signed to Warner Bros. Records. An appearance at the first annual CMJ Cleveland and other North American tour dates coincided with the June 28, 2005 release of their major label debut, Punches .

The band broke up in early 2008, shortly after traveling to Seattle, Washington, to record their second major release, due to "artistic differences" within the band.
