The band is best known for the songs "Cherry Bomb", "Queens of Noise", "Neon Angels (On the Road to Ruin)" and "Born to Be Bad". "Cherry Bomb" appeared on the movie soundtracks for ''Dawn, Portrait of a Teenage Runaway'', ''Detroit Rock City'', ''RV (film)|RV'' and ''Dazed and Confused (film)|Dazed and Confused''. The band toured through America and Japan, also visiting the UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.
