They made their breakthrough on the Swedish charts with singels "One Hour Baby" and "This City's Got No Boulevards". They play piano-heavy pop with influences by american westcoast rock, adult oriented rock, the slick production of disco-era fleetwood mac and blue eyed soul.
The band formed in 2001 and released their debut album "Still Fresh" in 2004, the album is characterized by a soulful sound with lot's of brass and piano. Two years later second album "Emotional" saw the light of day wich presented a new soundscape for the band. With "Emotional" a transition from the soul influences towards a more discoified sound is noticed. Where the echoes of a stompy motown sound could be heard on their debut, the follow up had a much more modern production but with clear influences from discofied AOR from the late 70's.
