Their song "Lessons from the Empty Glass" was featured in the 2010 Ridley Scott film Robin Hood. They have released 5 full-length albums, 2 EPs, and are well known for their rendition of University of Nebraska's football team's fight song "Come a Runnin Boys/The Cornhusker" which is played in Memorial Stadium.
