Fine China signed to Velvet Blue Music in 1997, and in the same year released debut 7" single "The Beautiful" and an EP entitled, No One Knows. In 1998 the band released their second EP, Rialto Bridge. During the span of 1997-1998 Fine China gigged in and around Phoenix, as well as toured with Starflyer 59 and Joy Electric. In 2000 the band released their first full length, the synthpop oriented When the World Sings on Tooth & Nail Records. In 2001 Fine China released their second full length, You Make Me Hate Music. While their first full-length was synthesizer heavy, this album was much more rock oriented.
After a brief hiatus the band returned to the studio in 2004 to begin work on their third full length. In 2005 the album, Jaws of Life, was released. The song "My Worst Nightmare" off the album was featured on the television drama The O.C..1 The same year they also released a 7 inch, "Don't Frown", on Velvet Blue Music.
Fine China ended in 2006, with Rob Withem joining Ronnie Martin of Joy Electric to form a new indie-pop/synthpop band, named The Foxglove Hunt.
