By the second set, Crowbar (1993) on the 'Bulletproof' label, Matt Thomas replaced Noonan. The album's highlight was their cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter.

Past and Present (1997). Odd Fellows Rest (1998) saw them leave for the 'Spitfire' label and loose Thomas, but another drummer, Sid Montz, was in place for their Equilibrium album in 2000 proving to be another "same old, same old" album with a cover tune (this time of Gary Wright's Dream Weaver) as it's highlight. But after the Sludge "best of..." compilation in 2000, the next album Sonic Excess in its Purest Form (2001) saw the rhythm section replaced with Tony Costanza on drums and Jeff Okoneski on bass.
