Gaining a large following over the past sixteen years the band has sold over one million albums, been nominated for Juno awards, and has also won several Entertainer of the Year awards at the East Coast Music Awards. Over the years the band has toured rigorously throughout North America. Being so dedicated to their touring that even in February of 2006, when their bus flipped over on the way to a concert, the members still found transportation to the show and performed that night.
