They play energetic rock based on several genres - from classical melodious pop music to progressive and hardcore rock or cabaret rock.

In September 2010, Major Parkinson released their second album, named Songs from a Solitary Home. This release was followed by an extensive tour through continental Europe that ended in the famous "White Trash" in Berlin.

According to their website, guitarist and backing vocalist Alf Borge left the band in October 2011. He was replaced by Steinar Hjelmbrekke and the third album Twilight Cinema was given out in early 2014 after the fans funded it.

In August 2014, half of the band members (Lund, Hjelmbrekke and Aasmundseth) announced that they would leave the band after a few more live performances in 2014. The remaining members announced they would go back to recording a new line up.
