history
During their active time, the band released an EP ( West for Wishing ) and two albums ( Stories and Alibis and Voices ) via Epitaph Records .
The song Monsters , which also appeared as a single again, was a great success in the USA.
In December 2006 Ryan DePaolo, the guitarist , left the band to pursue his own interests. He made his last appearance on December 22, 2006 in Poughkeepsie.
