One of their songs, "Let Me Down", is featured over the end credits of the Asylum film Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012) and was put there by special request of the Director, Joseph J. Lawson. Lawson chose the song because he wanted the film to end like a classic 1980s horror B-movie and because Busey played a central character in the film.
