[edit] History
Little is known about their earlier history, but their commercial success and fame started with the release of their debut EP, Cliche, in 2004. After this, the band gained a loyal fan base and some local popularity, they performed alongside major bands such as Story of the Year, MxPx, Motion City Soundtrack, and Funeral for a Friend.
The band's fan group in Singapore and Malaysia raised money to allow the band to visit and perform. In 2005-2006 they recorded the album The Boys Next Door. This was the band's first major success, with plenty of national airplay on stations such as Nova 937, and their hit single "The Boys Next Door" reached third on the charts.
[edit] Break Up
In late March 2008, the band announced on their MySpace that "all good things must come to an end", referring to their decision to split, as many of the band members pursue different bands. This came a few weeks after the drummer sold off all his drum kit cheap on MySpace.
Much of the band's music is available for free download on PureVolume (Cliche EP) and MySpace (The Boys Next Door). Their album is also available on iTunes.
