Originally working around the Australian power pop scene with bands such as The Flanders, Webster and Jericho City, Connolly began to work on more high profile bands such as You Am I, Silverchair, Youth Group and The Vines.

The band has released four albums since 1995,[1]but in a 2006 interview, Connolly said: "We're a little confused about what direction we want to go in at the moment. Our last few records have been pretty melancholy and, honestly, I'm at the point where I don't want to play sad songs live anymore. It's just too tough. I want to write more upbeat songs but I seem to have this pre-programmed mentality where I want to write downbeat songs. I just can't do it."[2]
