Their title song had a hook to it, which put them on the map with local radio airplay. In 2005 they released an 8 song EP “Genuine” a mix of island reggae, rock and ska; which featured such local acts as JD and Papa T from Big Every Time in a collaboration titled “Sounds So.” It was recognized by the local radio stations and got regular airplay as well.

They made their full album in 2006 with the release of “Simmer Down” a simple yet catchy island reggae tune that also caught the ears of radio Djs. “Simmer Down” is sold online through www.musicthatpays.com, and at their shows.
