Prong had two independent releases, "Primitive Origins" (1987) and "Force Fed" (1989), which attracted the attention of Epic Records, who signed the band in 1989. Their first two albums on Epic, "Beg to Differ" (1990) and "Prove You Wrong" (1991), were released to critical acclaim and garnered attention on MTV's "Headbangers Ball". The band's 1994 album "Cleansing" was also successful, and included one of their well-known songs "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck". After releasing one more album ("Rude Awakening" in 1996), Prong disbanded in 1997, but reformed in 2002 and has continued to tour and record since then.
