Artistfacts:
| A band equal parts punk, alternative, and country that emerged from bars and clubs in North Carolina. |
| Adams emerged as the reluctant leader of the group due to his prolific songwriting ability. |
| In 1997, opened for classic rock icon John Fogerty, but met with an icy reception from the audience. The band responded in a characteristically confrontational manner, which was due in part to Adams' tremendous stage fright. |
| The band had been signed to Outpost Records (distributed by Geffen Records), but got lost in the 1998 Universal/Seagrams merger and was dropped. |
| Adams and Cary have both gone on to release solo albums. |
| This band was very precarious throughout its career. There was a lot of public feuding, like Adams telling interviewers how much he hated Wandscher, and a lot of substance abuse. |
| They were featured in No Depression, the alt-country bible, after existing for only six months. |
