Their music is the soundtrack of three book trailers promoting the noir novels by Luca Poldelmengo: L’Uomo Nero, Nel Posto Sbagliato and I pregiudizi di Dio, and in May 2016 they released their first album Rise. In autumn 2019 the collaboration with the producer Steve Lyon (The Cure, Depeche Mode) will lead to a new EP including the single “Walk The Line”.
