After early releases on the legendary A West Side Fabrication label, they moved to Soap Records (a sub-label of MNW), where they achieved significant success in the mid-90s Swedish alternative charts. Their career arc saw them evolve from jangly, indie-pop purists into a more robust alternative rock outfit by the time of their 1997 album 'C-60'. Despite international touring and critical acclaim for their songwriting craftsmanship, internal tensions led to their dissolution in 1998. They remain a cult favorite among crate-diggers of 90s indie and are often cited as a key influence on the subsequent wave of Swedish pop exports.
