The band formed in Escatawpa, Mississippi in 1994. They forged a major-label contract using popular live shows and the reputation of a single song. Their hit, "Kryptonite," generated an amazing buzz at local radio station WCPR in Biloxi, helping to make them hometown favorites and enabled them to draw large crowds to their local live shows. This helped them extend their range beyond Mississippi and the deep south to internationally famous clubs like New York's CBGB's. They play Alternative rock, Post-grunge, Hard rock, and Southern rock music.
