The band had gone through numerous line-up changes over the years, but singer Ryan Kepke and Joe Nixon (drums) performed on every release, while Jeremiah Brown (bass) played on all except their final album, Far From Nowhere. This was their first release without Tooth and Nail Records, which they left, not for religious reasons, but merely because their contract had finished and the band felt the need for a change. Far From Nowhere was released on SideOneDummy Records in the summer of 2003.
The band was particularly successful in the Christian punk scene in the late 90s and early 2000s and toured alongside their peers, both secular and Christian (most notably bands such as Face to Face and MxPx, respectively). They also played certain legs of the Vans Warped Tour in 2003.

Slick Shoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am taken from the place I stand
Taken to a place where no cares
I never thought I could be so lucky to be with you
Always knew
Afraid it would end
When I wake up in the morning
And you are still next to me
I can't believe it's better than I thought it could be
You'll always mean everything
And now whoa oh whoa
I don't need to worry
I am figured out whoa oh whoa
I don't need to worry
I have figured you
Take all my worries
They just don't matter to me
You take all my worries
They just don't matter to me
You take all my worries
They just don't matter to me
You take all my worries
They just don't matter to me
