The band released the EP The Power of Lard (1989) and its debut studio album, The Last Temptation of Reid, in 1990. The single “I Am Your Clock” was also released in 1990. The group's second studio album, Pure Chewing Satisfaction, followed in 1997, and the EP 70's Rock Must Die was released in 2000.
