The first single called "Gimme Your Love" recorded by Scott Riebling (Letters To Cleo) was well received. The most recent lineup consisted of Ellie Vee, Joe Wizda, Kat Kina, Mark Nigro, and Jason Sloan. The band teamed with local Boston based management company Twisted Rico Management (Steev Riccardo) and formed Red Car Records in 2003.
In September 2015, the band released the single "B.O.S.T.O.N", also recorded and mixed by Scott Riebling. Due to having children and other obligations, the band has been on a long break since but have not ruled out reuniting at some point.
