, Cobra Verde, and Witch. The lineup consists of J Mascis, John Petkovic, Tim Parnin, and Dave Sweetapple.
Their sound is a sophisticated blend of power-pop, garage rock, and glam, characterized by Petkovic's baritone vocals and Mascis's distinctive drumming and guitar work. The band's history is defined by geographical distance, with members spread across Ohio, Massachusetts, and Vermont, leading to a recording process that emphasizes collaboration over traditional rehearsal. Their debut at SXSW 2010 was famously their first time playing together in person.
