Started in the summer of 1992 when singer/ guitarist Jack Dean Moore met up with Jonathan Richey (drums) and Tim Pevec (bass) for the intentions of waking up their Shaker Heights, Ohio neighborhood. Taking a que from local Mid-Western heroes Pere Ubu and the Mekons, the band would eventually have the opportunity to share the stage with the Wallflowers, the Judybats and Dada among others before Jon Kistler -whom Moore knew back in his day as a fellow Skeletone member- on bass. Bar/None Records caught their attention and released their debut "Smashed" in 1997. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
