History

In accordance by accounts of Tsuchiura and Villecco respectively,[1] the two members got into music production at early stages of their lives, with Tsuchiura noting his passion for music "...for as long as [he] could remember", whilst Villecco had began his early footsteps into music and sound development as an after-school hobby in his early years.

Both Tsuchiura and Villecco also retain a strong passion for pop-culture and video games, most notable are the band's early contributions of music which included cover songs from video games including: The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Super Mario, Phantasy Star Online, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokemon.[1] The band also contributed music and soundtracks for other popular title franchises and "indie" titles alike such as League of Legends[2] and lesser known 'indie' titles such as S#!T On Your Friends (SOYF)[3]
