Journey over years
Their first big break happened in 2001 when Warner Music Philippines included their songs Duct Tape and
Criminal in its compilation album, No Seat Affair, together with other than up-and-coming artists, Cog,
DTS, Zooom, Six Digit and Euglito's Eye. In that same year, the band was invited to the Busan International Rock Festival in Korea, where they performed in front of a crowd of about 25,000.
In 2003, they released a 5-song EP which consisted of their original songs Burning Streets of Love and
Hate, Criminal, Smoke Under the Table, Falling Earth and Undiscarded. Two years after, the band released
their first album, Paghilom, under Warner Music Philippines. It consisted of ten tracks with lyrics that explicitly address the Filipino youth with issues of socio-political concern. Their carrier single from this album, "Ang Ating Araw" was the most played song on NU 107 for the year 2005.
