They were a part of the Washington, D.C. area post-hardcore/emo movement, along with bands like The Dismemberment Plan, Q and Not U, and Faraquet. The lineup included Keeley Davis on guitar and vocals, Jason Wood on bass and vocals, Jonathan Fuller on guitar and backup vocals, and Cornbread Compton on drums. In early recordings Wood served as primary lead vocalist, but later in their career the duties of lead singer switched to Davis.
