In 2004, the album won a MAMA (Madison Area Music Award) for Best Punk Album." Their second full-length album, Fatal/Error has garnered positive reviews from stoner rock internet hub, stonerrock.com.

They are infamous for their metallic robot mascot, Robo, who occasionally terrorizes audiences at shows.
