After several self-produced albums the group found finally had their breakthrough in the early nineties. Their albums were often recorded in the basement of one of the members houses.

The bands most famous line-up included singer-songwriter Robert Pollard, guitarist Mitch Mitchell, guitarist Tobin Sprout, bassist Greg Demos and drummer Kevin Fennell.

"[Robert] used to put an album together and I'd say 'don't change a thing, this albums perfect the way it is'... Two weeks later Its got a different title, half the songs are gone, there's new songs on there, their rearranged, and I listened to it and I'm like, 'that's ten times better'.
