The band’s sound has been described as alternative folk with some 60s pop and rock influence in there too.

The band first came to the attention of the Pure Tone record label after impressing talent scouts from the label at an audition in Pittsburgh.

They were signed to the label where they were assigned producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine) to help compile their debut album. Josh was at this point relocated to various states and holed up in studios with Brian, where along with various session musicians they recorded a batch of songs for inclusion on the album.

The album was eventually released, using Josh's basement recordings and various studio recordings to make up a whole album.

Josh decided to disband the group soon after the album was released after artistic differences with the label.

He now plays with his new band Meeting Of Important People and plays bass for Lohio.
