During their short stint as a group, they released nine songs, divided amongst three seven-inch EPs, Answers, Bread, and New Compositions and Arrangements for the Zither'. These songs were later collected and released as Today Puberty, Tomorrow The World.
Member Chris Leo moved on to form The Van Pelt and later The Lapse, later performing as "Vague Angels". Dave Lerner joined Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Chris and Danny Leo are the brothers of Ted Leo. Danny Leo formed The Holy Childhood (stylized as "tHE hOLY cHILDHOOD"). Justin Simon played in We Acediasts while living in Japan before relocating to New York and establishing Mesh-Key Records.
In 2022, Numero Group announced that they would be reissuing the band's discography, starting with the Answers EP and ending with a new discography titled This Can't Exist in 2023.
