*(Jed Honrado is the band's first drummer. The band has unfortunately parted ways with him who recorded most of the tracks for the first album "Birth". He left for the States, and was replaced by Jerros Dolino who recorded the song Give and Apart. Jerros continued to record tracks with the band in its 2nd album "Influence". But sometime in 2003 he decided to leave the band for undisclosed reasons. The band then recruited John Dean Mendoza (Gabba, Glitch) to fill in the void. Jerros is now the drummer of fellow cebuano rock group Sheila and the Insects.) - extracted without permission from Urbandub Online.

no personal engagement with this band other than their songs being downloaded through P2P... and to my amazement (perhaps along with quite a lot of persuasive writeups all over the web) they proved enough to merit getting listed here first among the present indie acts. for one thing, they embody all that is presently 'in' in the pinoy rock scene today without compromising - indie, the south invasion, and the emo thing... i was so suaded that i became crazed enough to download every song of them i found in p2pverse. and so far, i like all that i'm hearing... to think that i dismissed them before as a passing act when they appeared at the NU107 Rock Awards...
