The band’s line-up consisted of Layne Staley on vocals, Mike McCready on guitar, Barrett Martin on drums, and John Baker Saunders on bass. They released their debut album, Above, in 1995, which was critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful. The band’s members struggled with drug addiction, which caused them to break up in 1996.
