Soulcracker's career can be divided into two main phases: before VH1 and after VH1. Before the band's television exposure, the California group wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire, despite more than half a dozen years of plugging away at the craft of music. When the video network featured the group on its Bands on the Run series during the summer of 2001, interest in Soulcracker increased greatly and life immediately changed for the better. The group's website began to log more than a million visitors monthly.
