Originating with the southend hardcore contingent of the Abromavage brothers, this band took form after the brothers stumbled into a Babylon Dance Band gig at 1069 Bardstown Road, making friends with the inhabitants and getting hooked up with the idea of doing it themselves. They continued on like this for at least 2 years, recording only a few songs on a rare demo, but being Louisville's first "hardcore" band.
When the band started writing heavier, slower material, they turned into Fading Out; with members going on to be in Kinghorse and Arch.
