Career

They have had a number one single on the country charts for their performance of "Sister Golden Hair," which is a remake of a pop hit from the 70s by the group America. It was in the top 10 for eight weeks, and became the number one song for two weeks in Canada.

Since 1994 with the release of their album Gotta Be a Believer, they have done two more albums: There's No Looking Back (1999) and Lap of Luxury (2005).

On April 24, 2004, band member Sean Smith received a severe spinal cord injury. He is still currently in rehabilitation.
