It was formed in March 1992, and was the second post-Ramones band for Dee Dee, following Dee Dee Ramone and the Spikey Tops.  The band was made up of Ramone on guitar and vocals, former Liars, Cheats and Thieves members Richie Screech (aka Richie Karaczynski) and Alan Valentine on guitar and bass respectively, and Scott Goldstein on drums.  In the band's short time together, they only released one 7" single which featured an original song on the a-side and a cover of the New York Dolls' "Chatterbox" on the b-side.

The song was written by bassist Dee Dee Ramone in the style of the Beach Boys and early surf rock bands.  The song is about Rockaway Beach, Queens, where Dee Dee liked to spend time.  Guitarist Johnny Ramone claimed that Dee Dee was "the only real beachgoer" in the group.  Released in 1977, it was the Ramones' highest-charting single in their career, peaking at number 66 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  In June, 2013, the song was used in a radio ad campaign sponsored by Queens Economic Development Corporation to promote recovery from Hurricane Sandy by drawing New Yorkers back to Rockaway Beach.

The album spawned four singles, all of which charted on the UK Singles Chart.  In addition to singles, the band promoted their album by making a music video which parodied the benefit concerts Live Aid and Hands Across America.
