Mutiny on the Bounty was founded in April 2004 by Nicolas Prezor and Sacha Hanlet. Their first release was a split album in 2005, with "Treasure Chest At The End Of The Rainbow" also a Luxembourg-based band, in which Sacha Hanlet was also active.

This split album was licensed by the Canadian record label New Romance for Kids, for Canada, United States and Japan. In 2007, Moreira left the group and Claudio Pianini joined them as bassist.
