punk rock and Rock & Roll band formed inMilano in 2003, Italy. Shortly after forming, they were contacted by independent record label Kosentostre, who wanted them to publish an EP. They named their first album "10 Minuti di Pancino", which achieved success even though it was only intended to be a small promotional album. After positive reviews from publications like Rocksound, Punkster, and Punkadeka, their initial release quickly sold out and a second release occurred six months later.The band's first single, which came from "Panico", was "La dolce Morte". This song was a hit; it was aired on radio for a long period of time and is the Italian punk song that is most downloaded from the Internet (Source: Vitaminic). The success of their single allowed them to go on tour throughout Italy, as well as a 28-dates tour in the United States in autumn of 2004. In the same year they open with
Toy Dolls ,Cockney Rejects , and many other Italian and foreign bands.At the end of 2005, the band drastically changed their formation and sound as they prepared new songs for their next album. They played two shows in London on June 24-25, 2006, and an English label offered to publish their record in the United Kingdom.
As of 2007, they are on tour in Germany, Poland, Austria, France, and Italy playing with The Exploited, NOFX and more well know bands.
In 2008 a new release: "
200Bullets & Friends " distribuited around Europe with NextPunk Records/Leech Redda, around USA with SuperD distributor and in Japan with Venus/HMV.They are the only Italian band featured on "
