Watt and Congelliere did an I-5 tour together[3] and afterwards Watt asked Congelliere to do a project with him.[3]

Their debut album, Round One, was released by Recess Records on October 4, 2019.[4] Watt wrote fifteen tracks on bass to a click track[5] and sent them to Congelliere who added guitars and vocals.[6] Congelliere felt that a fifteen track album would be overly long[3] so it was split into two albums worth of songs.[7]

Round One features a different drummer on each track[4] such as Hole drummer Patty Schemel,[7] Jimmy Felix (Toys That Kill),[5] and Watt’s other musical partners George Hurley,[5] Jerry Trebotic,[5] Raul Morales[1] and Nick Aguilar.[8] Four more albums are planned[1] with live gigs after the albums are all released.[3][9]
