They are renowned for their entertaining live performances and being one of the few high profile rock bands in the Singaporean music scene, alongside Electrico. Before their entry to the mainstream market, the band launched an EP in 2003 which was a success, and later released a LP. Their debut album Do or Die has received rave reviews by local press.
