“But as they say, all your cells renew every 7 years so we’re claiming that’s a thing and moving in different directions. Your support and love has enabled us to have the most insane experiences in the most amazing places and venues and memorable gigs that we will treasure forever.” the band said in a message to their fans.

During their career they’ve opened for Courtney Love, and supported the Delta Riggs, Jebediah, Dallas Frasca, and Spiderbait.

Their album Underground Raptor was released in 2019. They previously released several EPs including We’re All Meat And We’re Gonna Get Eat, Hurling Sticks and Stones, and This Is Not a Desert Island.
