The band consists of guitarist and vocalist KW and drummer and vocalist Vic, a couple who both identify as queer and make music from a progressive activist perspective.[3] In addition to their musical career, they operate the Coven Plant Based Marketplace, a vegan food store in Hamilton, and KW is part owner of a tattoo shop, Sleepy Bones.[1]

The duo released their first album, A Steady Descent Into the Soil, in 2015, and followed up with the EP A Pessimistic Doomsayer in 2017[4] and the album Cast of Static and Smoke in 2018.[5] In 2019, after signing to Prosthetic Records, they released Preservation Rituals (2015-2018), a compilation album which combined all three of the earlier releases.
