Taking their name from a song by New York band DNA, they released their first single 'Big Song' in 1993, with a self-titled debut album arriving a year later through 'Smells Like' records based in New Jersey. Stand out tracks 'Sciuri Sciura' and 'Girl Boy' showcase their off-kilter rock sound and clever use of harmonics, which must owe a small debt to Sonic Youth, as well as many of the riot-grrrl bands of the early 90's.
Releases ever since have continued to thread an individual line between New York noise, tight-edged hardcore and summer-pop. 'Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons' (2000) was produced by Guy from Fugazi, and another release later the same year featured a Serge Gainsbourg cover version, and a remix by Third Eye Foundation, showing that public indifference is not due to lack of musical maturity or experimentation.
Much loved by the 'underground' fanzine community, this band are a well kept secret who create beautiful music, but are probably too discordant to gain the recognition they truly deserve.
