Jeff Sousa became the drummer in late 1993, at which time Steve and Anthony switched to two low-tuned guitars with no bassist. Early influences included Melvins and Godflesh, later developing their own sound of melodic, pop-infused doom. Several vinyl-only 7" EPs were released before their first break in 1996. The band reformed with a new line-up for one show in 1997 with Henry Wilson on drums(show more)

The band reformed with a new line-up for one show in 1997 with Henry Wilson on drums and practiced only occasionally until 2001. 2002 saw the release of their first full-length album, self-titled 'Floor,' before splitting in 2003 for good.
