A few EPs followed, a Christmas and even a Halloween album were released before the second album, Aldo, was launched in 2016.

The precise, odd-time overdriven guitar riffs are well-balanced with free improvisation sections. The saxophone can pull off tasteful solos imediately followed by apocalyptic screaming with effects.
