Biography
The band formed in 1995, with Seb on bass and vocals and Yvan on drums. Shortly after, John joined on guitar with Seb switching to bass and vocals. During the month of June 1995, they recorded 14 songs for a scheduled split 7" with only Seb on guitar and vocals and Yvan on drums, because at the time John was unavailable due to his work, thus not able to play guitar. Unfortunately, the sound of the recording was of poor quality and did not contain any bass. Later, John came back on guitar joined by Fred as a second guitar player, but this line-up lasted only some months until John definitively left the band. The line-up never changed since then, and was the same up to the split of the group early in 2000.
Members did stint in such bands as Dèche-Charge, Mesrine, and Fistfuck, among others.
