Formed early 2002, with initial line-up consisting of Thong Wing Hoong (Thong), Ang Chek Chow (Ang), Yau Way King (King), Ahmad Nazery (Jiboy) and Rohazuddin Hassan (E.D). From band members being the key persons in both of the hot and controversial JBHC bands, Kharisma and Kamasutra, we evolved to a band playing mostly soft melancholic songs that reflect a more relaxing side of indie music. Our music was influenced and inspired by a a huge range of bands, such as The Gloria Record, Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, Buddhistson, Elliott, and Cursive. Initially we started out playing at small gigs and shows around JB, KL and Singapore (year 2002). The exposure to the overwhelming scene encouraged us to record our first E.P. entitled 'Ending Harmony' in December 2002. The debut E.P. was well received, inflicting positive reviews from both local and foreign magazines. Thanks to the DIY network's efforts, our music bridged continents, reaching not only states around Malaysia, but also around Asia (i.e. Singapore and Japan) and countries in Europe (i.e. Germany and UK). The opportunity to play at gigs, shows and music festivals gave us the confidence and continuous passion to grow along with our music. Our most memorable experiences include the 2003 Baybeats Music Festival (Esplanade, Singapore) where we had the privelege to perform alongside great bands from all over the globe like The Gloria Records (USA), Buddhistson (Japan), and Fonzie (Portugal). 2004 went by quietly for our band due to major changes in our lives, (i.e. leaving university lives and settling down with new jobs in different states). Due to heavy workloads, regretfully our drummer, Ang had to pull out and thus, the new line-up now consist of a new drummer, youngest in the band, Mohammad Saiful (Epul), with very provocative skills and a taste for unaccustomed beats. This time around, we're back full force, with a new line-up, more progressive, more aggresive yet still the same melancholy 'us', with an active comeback to the local indie scene and plans for a full length CD release towards the end of the year.
