The band's lineup consisted of Paul Reid (vocals, guitar), Gene Bennett (guitar), Andrew Sims (bass), and Wes Reid (drums). Their music was characterized by a blend of alternative rock, hard rock, and pop influences.
Rubicon toured extensively throughout New Zealand and Australia, opening for acts such as Steriogram, Midnight Youth, and Shihad. They also performed at several major New Zealand music festivals, including Big Day Out and Homegrown.
The band's singles, including "Easy," "Gluttony," and "Lost," received airplay on New Zealand radio stations. Despite their popularity, Rubicon disbanded in 2009.
