The band exploded on to the fertile pop punk scene with its debut EP Half Hour of Power in 2000 and debut album All Killer No Filler in 2001. That album’s first single Fat Lip reached No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and the album was certified platinum in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.
The group continued to build an international following with subsequent releases that never hit the high points of its debut but kept the band in the public eye. On March 29, 2024, the band dropped its eighth album Heaven :x: Hell. The previous year, it had announced that this would be the group’s final record and they would be disbanding following the Tour of the Setting Sun world tour.
