Initially formed in Rotorua by Jonathon Armstrong (drums, vocals), Alan Deare (bass, vocals, guitar) (both formerly of Number Thieves), and Sarah Knight (cello). Sarah was later replaced by Stan Jagger (guitars), formerly of Mudpeople, and Justine Francis (violin) when the band moved to Hamilton. Released the tapes Catharsis (in Rotorua) and Purified 7X (in Hamilton) on Bomb Records.

Book of Martyrs - featuring Jonathon, Alan and Justine only - contributed the track The Man that Said to the 1993 compilation Discordia Concors. They briefly reformed at this time to play at the album release party.

They had the song Will Shiver released on the second Flying Nun/Student Radio Freak the Sheep 2 compilation.
