Their breakthrough came with the release of Riskin’ It All in 1991, a multi-platinum success that propelled them to international fame. This album, alongside subsequent releases like Helpyourself (1995) and Suburban Kid (2000), cemented their reputation as purveyors of expertly crafted, no-nonsense rock music.
