The album drew comparisons to the Ramones and included a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Goonies 'R' Good Enough".
The band is closely associated with The Queers, having gone on a European tour with the band;[3] in 2003 the two bands recorded the split album Acid Beaters together.[4] Former Queers bassist Phillip Hill produced the Manges second album Go Down.[5] American punk band Screeching Weasel covered the Manges song "I Will Always Do" on their album Teen Punks in Heat.
