The band quickly gained attention for its blistering live shows and amassed a rabid fanbase in the fertile soil of the late-1980s music scene in the Southeast.

In 2015, a vinyl-only collection of 10 choice cuts from the bands 4-EP Songs series, entitled Best of Songs, was released on Nashvilles Plowboy Records. In 2017, the lineup now includes guitarist Laur Joamets (Sturgill Simpson) and a Fall re-release of Mystery Road on Island Records/Universal plus a cover of the bands most well-known song Straight To Hell appears on Darius Ruckers new album all leads to a very busy 2018.
