So far the band have four full albums A Place to Bury Strangers (2007), Exploding Head (2009), Worship (2012), and Transfixiation (2015) and 8 EPs in total. Since their formation in 2003, the band has underwent several member changes until it becomes the format of three member that we know now.

They have become the opening act for more renown bands like Nine Inch Nails, The Jesus and Mary Chain, MGMT and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Two acts will open the set before them and they are Flukeminimix from Bandung and Pelteras from Jakarta. “Flukeminimix have noisy rock experimental composition, while Pelteras play dark post punk,” said the organizers on why they chose these two acts as the opening from the band.
