Formed in 1994, the band signed to Mojo Records/Universal Records and released their first three studio albums, with one album from each song (Here In Your Bedroom, Superman, 99 Red Balloons) earning the band radio and Billboard success. Initially a ska-punk band, in the mid-2000s they drifted away from the sound in favor of a more pop-punk driven sound, but returned to ska in the late-2000s.
