In his career he has provided weather reports for several Boston radio stations, including WZLX (100.7), WBCN (104.1), WBUR (90.9), and Kiss 108.
After DJ Carter Alan of WBCN in Boston heard "A Day Without Me" in a record store, he became a U2 fan and included the song in his playlist.
During the quartet's heyday, they won Boston's WBCN Rumble, were nominated for seven Kahlua Boston Music Awards, toured extensively with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Cramps, The Reverend Horton Heat and others, signed with Velvel Records and released a 1998 album entitled The Amazing Royal Crowns.
The EP features Hunger Strikes, number one local song of 1983 on Boston radio station WBCN.
