The band achieved mainstream success in the late 1980s and early 1990s with several hit songs.
Their debut album, ...ish (1988), was a commercial success, reaching multi-platinum status, peaking at No. 1 on the Australian ARIA albums chart. It produced the hit single "That's When I Think of You", peaking at No. 6 on the Australian singles charts. At the 1989 ARIA Music Awards, the band won Breakthrough Artist – Album for ...ish and Breakthrough Artist – Single for "That's When I Think of You."
Their second studio album, The Other Side (1990), continued their success. At the 1990 ARIA Music Awards, they won Best Video for "Compulsory Hero" directed by Geoffrey Barter.
