The band started in 1980 as a four piece band, since then there has been a split, a reunion, and member changes which have resulted in just one remaining original band member, Animal.

Despite this the band are firing on all cylinders, touring with bands such as Motorhead and Rancid and playing the big festivals like Download and Rebellion. Also Animal re joined Metallica back up on stage to play their 30th birthday bash in San Francisco which proved with out a doubt that Metal and Punk can stand side by side.
