The band formed in 1993 and released a demo tape, Sometimes You're A Radio, the same year. It was followed by the "Death Kit"/"Nerve" single and their self-titled album in 1995. In 1996, they released splits with The Crownhate Ruin and The Lune. The following year, they released the "Operation: Sand"/"Empty There" and the In Place of Real Insight album. 1997 saw the release of The Bed Is In The Ocean. While no releases came in the following two years, Unsolved was released in 2000. The "Cancel"/"Sing" single was released in 2001. 2002 had the release of Some Boots, while 2003 saw the release of their first live album, Concerto al Barchessone Vecchio. Their last album before the end of their original run, Pockets, was released in 2004.[1] The band disbanded in 2005, with their last release being the In the Fishtank 12 EP.

After disbanding, the members released a live album, 595, in 2007. The Numero Group began reissuing the band's material in 2021. They reunited in 2022.[2] The following year saw their first compilation, Time Expired, with their second, Complete Studio Recordings, releasing in 2023. In 2024, the band and Numero Group began teasing new recordings,[3][4] culminating in the announcement of Make It Fit,[5] releasing in October of that year.
