Musical career

After a series of tumultuous interactions with other members, including the death of lead singer original Brett Turner, the release of two EPs and a full album titled "Here" the band split up.
In 1995, Erb and Daniels returned together to form a band [needle], an industrial rock band that incorporated edgy guitars with a dance rhythm. The band obtained distribution through Sony Music Entertainment through the label Ruffhouse Records.
