"the band is best known for their singles "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" (a 2003 Grammy Award nominee) and "1985," both of which were penned by other artists."
Their best songs are cover songs. SR-71 is one of my top favorite bands, and i hate when people think that 1985 is BFS's song, while no one knows SR-71.
About the band, they have a few good songs, but nothing special to me.

Yeah, that's right.
In fact, that's the way I discovered SR-71.
It didn't sound anything like Deryck, so I googled it and found SR-71.
Does anyone know what's up with them? Are they on hiatus or have they quit for good?
Good band, but nowhere near Sum 41.
Sorry for going offtopic
