The group disbanded in 2007 following a farewell concert recorded as the live album Remain in Memory - The Final Show (2007). After resuming activity in 2012, they released the studio recordings Peace in Our Time (2015) and Thoughts and Prayers (2019). Their discography includes the studio album Before the World Caves In (2026). Their lyrical themes address political protests, critical analyses of American society, and personal struggles.
