After just two gigs and a couple of appearances on compilation albums, the band called it a day. The Warriors were resurrected in 1995, when The Last Resort were asked to reform for a gig.

Danny observes that the remoteness of their hometown may have been instrumental to the band's formation and success: "There wasn't the distraction of having anything better to do." After high school the members almost parted ways, but due to strong opposition to the breakup and the feeling that, "we still had a lot to say and a lot of creative energy to continue with new material," the members decided to stick with it. They put off college plans and soon after signed to Eulogy Recordings. Recently signed with Victory Records ! *( Abridged from the Eulogy Records website.) 3.
