In their early years, they sang in their school's choir where they were taught the techniques of singing. They discovered the joy of karaoke after they moved to Petaluma, CA, where they were bored out of their minds. With that, they have been together since late 2005 and have recorded many covers of their favorite songs to sing. Their most popular song is "Toxic", but the song that represents their style best as artists would have to be "God Bless the Big A" where they show off their patriotism for their country. They have only one album circulating with six copies made titled Say Nee To Oliver Cromwell. A new release from them is expeted sometime in the year 2007, which will be titled Fill Me Up.
