The group never gained a mainstream audience, but were an influence on their contemporaries – most notably Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, The Melvins, and Green River – alongside whom they are considered the early pioneers of the sound that would later be called grunge.

And hungrily began to eat
The boy: beginning at his feet.”
