The band started in 2001, when the band's vocal Hide came back from the US after finishing his Master's Degree in University of Rochester. Hide grew up with '70-'90s music and you can hear some sort of acoustic element in the bands music, probably because Hide has his background in country music back in his college life in Kyoto, Japan, where he belonged to a club to play country music.
The band has released three discs (and some others available only at Live shows). Their latest album "Grayout" shows the diversity of their music and confortable mixture of Japanese and American rock. They have just done the unforgettable show, "Liquid Sunshine" in Osaka on April 11, 2009.
2001年結成。日本語で切なすぎる世界観を映画的アプローチで見せたかと思えば、英語曲では完璧な英語と美しい旋律を響かせる。一聴するとどこの洋楽バンドかと思うほどのインパクト。それもそのはず、 Vo.ヒデは洋楽を愛するあまり渡米、米国大学院で言語学を修了した経歴の持ち主。言葉のプロであることを知って納得である。 2005年、オンキヨー（株）のPremium StonesよりCDをRed Synapse、snowmanの2枚のアルバムをリリース。2007年には自主レーベル「ASB Films」を設立、Grayoutを発売。2009年4月にはサンタラとの自主企画2マン「Liquid Sunshine」を大成功に導いた。
