Their first album has sold over 500,000 copies and is considered to be one of he top ten punk rock albums of ALL TIME. FEARs frontman Lee Ving is also an accomplished actor with appearances in several large budget Hollywood films such as Flashdance, Clue, Streets Of Fire, and over 30 other films and television programs.
