In addition to these qualities and unusual time signatures, Kyle Howard's falsetto provided distinction in their music. Their lyrics are often constructed into a short story format. They had gained a local fanbase in Arizona and were attracting national attention after playing nationwide tours and appearing on the Vans Warped Tour ; however, band frontman Kyle Howard relocated to Los Angeles in 2009, and the group's Facebook and Myspace profiles have since been devoid of group activity.
In addition to their two released EP's, Masochism In The Place Of Romance and This Is My Boomstick , the band has two unreleased songs, "The Everlasting Gaze" originally performed by Smashing Pumpkins and a demo called "This Song Can't Be About Blowing Things Up Because Of Terrorism".
Their debut album is entitled ˇFiesta Fiesta Fiesta Fiesta! , which is self-described as being "dark but still upbeat".
