Their albums Grave Dancers Union (triple platinum) and Let Your Dim Light Shine (platinum) put them on the map, and with good reason. The bands breakout success was due to the hit single Runaway Train, the video of which helped many families become reunited with missing children. The song one a grammy award for best rock song in 1994. The band also provided original songs for the Kevin Smith films Clerks (Can't Even Tell) and Chasing Amy (We 3). Where Are They Now: Still touring and recording material, albeit in a different lineup to the original one (bassist Karl Mueller died in 2005). Their last album was 2012's Silver Lining.
