Former members of the band included Mark Berube (banjo and vocals), C.R. Avery (beat box and vocals), and Barbara Adler[2] (vocals, accordion) who left the band to pursue other artistic ventures.
Fans and critics find the group difficult to classify—they have been categorized as slam folk, folk hop,[3] and spoken word cabaret. The Georgia Straight called The Fugitives "wildly talented spoken-word artists".[4]
