The band released their only studio album, The Aesthetics of No-Drag, in 1997.{{Cite web |date=2025-04-08 |title=DC Punks Regulator Watts Ready First New Music In 27 Years, 'Mercury' Reissue |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2303511/dc-post-punks-regulator-watts-ready-first-new-music-in-27-years-mercury-reissue/news/ |access-date=2025-06-25 |website=Stereogum |language=en}}
Style
The band's music resembles that of illustrious predecessor Hoover, with more of an emphasis on taut, mechanical basslines and feedback-laden, spare guitar lines, as opposed to Hoover's fluid, jazzy basslines and contrasting guitar styles.
