Reformed in late 2008. The current line-up evolved from a number of other SA bands including Mills Park, Solemn, that had recorded a few demos and EP’s, but never had any real commercial success. Then the Munro Brothers, Chris and Martin, decided to form a new band, together with their friend and bass guitarist Stephan Lenhoff. A few local gigs followed, before the band recorded a few demos at the City Varsity campus studios in Gardens, Cape Town while Chris studied sound engineering. The band then began building a strong following locally and played many gigs around Strand, Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Cape Town. The band recorded their debut album in Cape Town, 2003.
