History

Formed in 1984 in Des Moines from the remains of The Chant. Played many shows in Des Moines, Iowa City, and Cedar Falls. Considered by many to be the band from Iowa that was going to become a breakout success.

Their sound was infectious - with a unique combination of tremulous appregiations, heavy rhythmic structures and haunting vocals. Despite the heavy guitars, they had a distinct pop sensibility and could be compared to other Midwestern bands of that era such as Husker Du or The Replacements.

According to Tom Armstrong's web site, the band broke up in 1989 over a dispute about van payments.
