Scott and Kim first met in high school, and formed the band Sonic And Knuckles. They broke up shortly after their first gig at Lunchapalooza, as Scott was moving to Toronto. While at college, Scott met Stephen, forming the band Kid Chameleon with fellow classmate Envy Adams. Despite a record deal, relationship issues between Scott and Envy led to Stephen and Scott leaving the band, and Envy forming the successful group The Clash at Demonhead upon her move to Montreal. Sex Bob-omb was founded around the time Kim moved to Toronto. The band play concerts intermittently, and have thus far enjoyed only a little success, remaining unsigned at present.
The series was adapted into a feature-length film in 2010, titled Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World after the second comic in the series and directed by Edgar Wright. The band was portrayed by Michael Cera, Alison Pill and Mark Webber as Scott, Kim and Stephen respectively. Four of their songs, We Are Sex Bob-omb, Garbage Truck, Summertime and Threshold appear in the film's soundtrack, all of which were written by Beck Hansen, with all of the instruments being played by the actors in the film.
In the comic, the band splits after Kim moves back in with her parents, with Kim and Scott later reforming as Shatterband, while Stephen joins the band of Sex Bob-omb producer Joseph. In the film, Scott is eventually replaced by number-one fan Neil Nordegraf on bass.
In the anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the band stays together, and has Scott's ex girlfriend, Knives Chau, join the band on the keyboard, after Scott returns.

I'm so indefatigable
I'm so indefatigable
I'm so indefatigable
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
I'm so indefatigable
I'm so indefatigable
You're so self-dramatical
I'm so un-retractable
The lyrics of Sex Bob-Omb's song "Indefatigable" may seem repetitive and straightforward at first glance. However, upon diving deeper, there are underlying themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and rejection of societal norms. By repeating the phrase "I'm so indefatigable," the lyrics convey an unwavering determination in the face of adversity. This determination can be seen as a metaphor for the band's relentless pursuit of success, despite being up against societal and industry pressures.
Furthermore, the line "You're so self-dramatical, I'm so un-retractable" sheds light on the dynamics of relationships. The singer acknowledges their own unshakable nature, but also recognizes their partner's tendency towards drama and emotional fluctuations. This contrast emphasizes the idea that everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that the key to any successful relationship is acceptance and understanding.
Overall, although Sex Bob-Omb's "Indefatigable" may appear to be a simple song on the surface, the lyrics hold deeper meanings about fortitude and relationships.
