Signing to Music For Nations in 2002, the debut, eponymous album, co-produced by frontman Sel Balamir and Steve Lyon, arrived in May of 2004, preceded by UK gigs supporting Deftones, Therapy?, Span, Gary Numan and Melissa Auf Der Maur. This 40 minute EP is being put out while the band finishes their new album. Their sound has been described as retro, lo-fi, garage rock.
