The band managed to score four Top 20 singles in their two year career. The first was the theme tune to STARStreet*. "Best Friends", which peaked at Number 20 in June 2001, was a favourite on the pop video channels. The second was a double-a-side of their own track, "Things That Go Bump In The Night", and a cover of Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know?", the former track later appearing on the soundtrack to the first Scooby Doo movie. It reached Number 12 in September 2001.
Their third single, released in January 2002, was another cover, this time of Bucks Fizz's "Land Of Make Believe", and it gave them their first and only top 10 hit, reaching Number 9. Their fourth single, released in late April 2002, was another double-a-side, but this time both were original tracks. "Back When" and "Going All The Way", the latter appearing on the soundtrack to the movie Thunderpants. However, this could only reach Number 19 in the end, and when their self titled debut only managed to reach Number 43 - spending only 2 weeks in the UK Top 75 - the band parted ways with their record company, Island, and split up soon after.

Woooo alright now We are best friends
We are best friends
Sun out in the park
Get a game and play until it's dark
Catch a movie too
Just some of the things we get up to
Turn it up loud
Come and dance along
Our nights are fun
And how the days, days, days
roll on and on
That's really cool
I get to spend moretime with you
That's A-OK
I'll be your best friend any day
At the party I meet my best friends
We go clubbing every weekend
Take it through to a chillout Sunday
(yeah yeah yeah) Woo hoo hoo
Alright now Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woo alright now
We are best friends
Best Friends
We are best friends
Sometimes we vibe out
No need to scream, no need to shout
You know what to do
Just call me up and we'll work it through
We get up and get out
We're out of sight (there ain't no doubt)
Those little things you do
A friend in need is a friend indeed
That's really cool I get to spend more
time with you
That's A-OK
I'll be your best friend any day
At the party I meet my best friends
We go clubbing every weekend
Take it through to a chillout Sunday
(yeah yeah yeah) Woo hoo hoo
Alright now Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woo alright now We are best friends

Send a message to my best friend

Money's always spent by Monday

Alright now, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woo alright now We are best friends
Best friends We are best friends
Looking out for you
And that's what friends do
You're always there for me
If I get into trouble
Be looking out for me,

When there is danger,
come a running at the double
At the party I meet my best friends
We go clubbing every weekend
Take it through to a chillout Sunday
