The dudes jammed together and came up with some awesome overdriven tunes. Then they called up some other dude who they didnt know that well to sing on their awesome ovrdriven tunes , his name was Martin Cesar ( the black guy , vocals ) and they instantly clicked. And they were a band. That was back in the summer of 2005 and now its spring 2007. A lot of shit has gone down.
