The band formed officially in late 1991 out of a band called The Asphalt Ribbons and started releasing demo-tapes in 1992, before they were signed by Tippy Toe Records for the first single "Patchwork".
In 2005 Staples embarked on a solo career and there was speculation that the band had split. The band have neither confirmed nor denied these rumours.
