Their sound was likened to that of AC/DC but with cleaner production. In 1990 the band released their only album, Neighbourhood Threat and toured for a short time with bands such as Mötley Crüe and Pretty Maids. The single Hey Kid became a minor hit and received some rotation on MTV. However, the album did not sell as well as the band had hoped and guitarist August Worchell quit.
