The first project from former Operation Ivy vocalist Jesse Michaels. After a ten year hiatus from music, Michaels formed the band with bassist Mass Giorgini, and drummer Dan Lumley.
The band, who took a distinctly gentler ska sound than the legendary Operation Ivy, released a handful of records and a posthumous split with labelmates Against All Authority.
After splitting up in 2004, Michaels resurfaced once more to form an art showcase called Dynaformer.
