Originally mining the power-pop vein, as evidenced on their "Grassroots" EP which was recorded in late 1994 for a shoe-string budget, which is quite noticable production-wise but suited the band's style at the time, capturing a greatness in its simplicity.
Spdfgh got their songs into some Australian high-profile films with "Steal Mine" being included in the movie and soundtrack album of "Love And Other Catastrophes" and "Hey Freaky Stripper" and "Gun" included in "The Well".
A huge loss to music, Spdfgh were a truly great band who had an original sound and style and were impossible to make comparisons to.

Christening themselves Spdfgh (pronounced spuh-duh-fuh-guh; it was a string of letters someone's older brother was trying to memorize for a chemistry exam), they'd skip school to busk for change, playing covers by their favorite Australian bands, like the Hummingbirds and Ratcat.
Spdfgh eventually expanded their repertoire to include songs by the Cure, the Ramones, and the Breeders, and in time began writing originals in a noisy indie-pop vein.
While Bowers was in her final year of high school some members of the Hummingbirds recommended Spdfgh to Nic Dalton, who ran an indie label called Half a Cow.
