Erik and Manolin knew one another in school, and started playing and writing material together in 2002. Through trial and error via public performance, the rest of the personnel were selected, and roughly a year later the band began recording their first disc. While their premier recording was still in process, the group's performance career boomed. They were invited to play for Extreme Fest in Peru. Thanks to the audience's enthusiastic response, Allison was offered a slot on the Vans Tour, an important tour with more than 30 stops. A number of big venue performances later, the young group was signed to the BMG subsidiary label Soundguich. Their self-titled debut record was released in 2006. The record's success garnered the band an offer to participate in one of Latin America's largest music festivals, Vive Latino, in 2006. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
