Blending aggressive and melodic elements, they gained popularity with their self-titled debut album in 2002, featuring their breakthrough single "Pulmonary Archery". Their second album, ''Watch Out!'' (2004), brought commercial success in Canada, while their third release, ''Crisis'' (2006), debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart and solidified their international reputation. ''Old Crows / Young Cardinals'' (2009) continued their evolution with a heavier and more experimental sound. After disbanding in 2011, the band reunited for a series of shows before officially reforming in 2015. They released ''Otherness'' in 2022, their first full-length album in over a decade, marking a return to their signature sound with new creative directions.
