[edit] History

The group met while undergrad students at Mount Allison University, in Sackville, New Brunswick, however the group members are natives of several provinces, including New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.

The band released its debut EP, Vacation Land, in 2004. They subsequently signed to Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records, and released their full-length debut album, The Coast Is Clear, in early 2006. The Coast Is Clear was produced by Warne Livesey and the band, and has garnered airplay on CBC Radio 3[1] and Halifax rock station Q104.

The band toured across Canada in the spring of 2006 to support both recordings, and completed a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the fall of the same year. They recently completed Canadian tour with fellow rock band Raising the Fawn from October 25–November 24, 2006. It was their second tour across Canada with Raising the Fawn.[2]

Dell Computers used In-Flight Safety's "Surround" as the score for their North American ad campaign in 2006. The award-winning video for "Coast Is Clear" was released in 2006 and received regular play on Muchmusic and MuchMoreMusic in Canada. It was directed by Drew Lightfoot and filmed on the south shore of Nova Scotia.
