The band formed in the early 2000s, and comprised George Hirsch (vocals), Jay Pepito (guitar), Tim Smith (bass), and Zach Trotta (drums).[1] The band self-released their debut self-titled 7-inch EP in 2003.[1] This led to a deal with the Stillborn label, and another EP, Our Youth Is Wasted.[1] Pepito left to form Reign Supreme,.[2] The band then recorded a series of split releases for the Deathwish label, who also reissued the band's first two releases together as We're Unstoppable, described by PopMatters as "a furiously brief dose of old-school punk and hardcore dissonance".[3] The band's most recent release, No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me, featured a stylistic turn to an early 90's grunge sound, abandoning most of the speed and favoring heavy, repetitive grooves.
