Beginning
Lead vocalist Silver Laas.

The founding members of the band, singer Silver Laas and guitarist Stig Rästa (previously of the band Slobodan River) came together in 2006. Through personal connections they found other band members: bass guitarist Tõnis Kivisild, drummer Reigo Ahven, and guitarist Karl Kanter. Kanter and Ahven left the band shortly after and were replaced with guitarist Robert Vaigla (previously of the band Slide-Fifty)[1] and drummer Ivo Priilinn.

Rästa writes most of the band's music, while the lyrics are written by different authors.[2]
