In July 2001 they released their first self-titled demo tape containing 2 tracks, followed by the contribution of 3 songs to the “Change It From Ideal To Real” split CD of February 2002. With the release of their MCD “Hardcore Emotion” in 2003, they quickly established themselves as a leading band in the japanese hardcore scene.

After two members left the band for unknown reasons, a planned CD release for August 2006 was cancelled. They played their last show on January 8, 2006. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
