The band had broken up in 1995 following their 2nd album, “Tribute to a Bus”, but reformed in 2005, playing tours around Europe, during which the wrote the tracks for the current album. They disbanded again 2009.[3]

According to Kenneth Herzog of Allmusic, the album contains influences ranging from Sonic Youth, to late-period The Clash to late-70s Fleetwood Mac, and described the sound as "both violent and sweet, delicate and abrasive – thanks in large part to a seductive female-vocal presence".[4]
