The band's first major album, ''[[Pokinatcha]]'' (1994), was released while the band members were still in high school. The album, though classified as [[Christian punk]], incorporated the quick styles of [[hardcore punk]],<ref name="allmusicmain" /> and is composed of influence from [[skate punk]] and punk underground.
