After releasing several demos in 2001 and 2002, they recorded a split-EP with local Swedish band Firestone in 2003. In 2005 they released their debut album Gravity X on both MeteorCity Records and Fuzzorama Records. Their follow-up album, Phi, was released in 2007 by Poison Tree Records in the U.S. and on the Fuzzorama label elsewhere. Their latest album, V, was released on September 30, 2016.
Their sound has been described as classic desert rock, similar to bands like Dozer, Fu Manchu (with whom they have toured), and Kyuss. They have been featured on the MTV Sweden show "Fuzz"
The film Truckfighters by Joerg Steineck and Christian Maciejewski portrays the band's life. It was released in December 2011 and features interviews with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The film provides an ironic, entertaining view of the three "ordinary" guys who transform into Fuzz Monsters onstage.

Truckfighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels so more then 18 old
Big weels rolling down the road
Feel the hidden burning song
Yeah
Going down to Mexico
I see the station got to stop
Wait aboard Im just filling it up
I see your man years burning away
Bring my car to Mexico (?)
Yeah
Going down to Mexico
Going down to Mexico
My soul let go but no one's too far
I often going on my car
Going down to Mexi-
Going down to Mexi-
Going down to Mexi-
Going down to Mexico
Going down to Mexico

The singer of the song feels like they are breaking free from their old ways, as they state “Feels so more than 18 old.” The use of the phrase “18 old” could refer to the age of legal adulthood, which could symbolize a new beginning or a fresh start.

Overall, the lyrics of “Mexico” describe a transformative journey that is full of excitement and emotion.
