As an indie band, Len released an EP, and two albums, Superstar and Get Your Legs Broke, first on the Halifax, Nova Scotia based No Records label, then on their own Funtrip imprint. These albums eventually sold around 10,000 to 15,000 each. They eventually brought D Rock, DJ Moves and Planet Pea into the Len crew. The additional personnel changed the sound of their music from alternative punk/pop to a more hip-hop sound. They released You Can't Stop the Bum Rush in 1997, featuring the hit song "Steal My Sunshine", which was part of the Go soundtrack. The track featured a raspy sounding Marc complemented by the sweet sounding voice of Sharon, backed by a sampled beat from "More, More, More" by The Andrea True Connection.
