Their self-produced albums all contain original compositions, were also successful. The published in 1989 Faster And Llouder even managed to crossover into pop music and was awarded with gold. In 1992, after completion of their third album, they parted due to musical differences. Foster felt more attracted to the Country, Lloyd to pop music.
