Some time later, Zitto Bremont and Diego Benyure joined them. In 1990, they released an EP called Tiempo Perfecto that was received poorly. Shortly after, Diego and Zitto left the band, and were replaced with David Melchor and Allán Pérez respectively.

This line-up signed with Sony in 1993 releasing Enciéndelo that same year. The album managed to put the band in the radar, but it wasn't until 1995, when Veinte Para Las Doce elevated the band to star-status. In 1997, they followed it with Nivel 3.

In 1998, Aguilar left the band and was replaced with Eduardo Contreras (formerly of Tercer Acto). In 1999, Allán and Chucho amicably parted ways with the band and were replaced with Fito Cedillo and Andrés Mura. However, the band disbanded shortly after.
