The enjoyable themes that had been a part of their childhood now can be spread in the shows and touch a lot of people. The first release album is called “The Song Remains the Game” (a joke with the Led Zeppelin album). The album was produced independently by the members of the band in November of 2006, and had been available for downloading at their site for free and also at MySpace. After a several show in Brazil the band decided to Record the second album, the recordings were finished at August of 2007, and the album was called “Altered Bit” (this time a joke with Sega classic Altered Beast), and also available for full downloading at their site.
