Band history

The band quickly stood up and started to play several gigs in their local area, and soon shows appeared abroad in their schedule. Spending their year to establish a base for the further actions, they realized that it was time for them to create their first record. In the fall of this year they've started the recording, and on a New Year's Eve live appearance of the band the mcd entitled After the Storm (EP) came to life. This three song debut was the product of the collaboration between the guys and a label from Japan called Alliance-Trax. The band HQ was satisfied with the result, and decided a future plan with their Japanese fellows in crime. In the first days of the new year an order arrived from the country of the rising sun: Get in the studio now!
