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 ↴
How far this takes me.
My mind is racing as I play this song.
Will you walkout?
This song is played out.
This thing I'm facing will not go quietly.
Place to place,
I see you face,
Need some sleep,
Your song I keep deep within my heart.
Tomorrow's at stake,
But this show won't make my love wander from my promises.
I feel better now, and I will carry this song until we are done.
Home now, nothing's better.
With you forever, it doesn't seem long enough.
