The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Nika Kocharov (Georgian: ნიკა კოჩაროვი, born June 22, 1980 in Tblisi), vocalist and bassist Giorgi Marr (Georgian: გიორგი მარი), guitarist and keyboardist Levan Shanshiashvili (Georgian: ლევან შანშიაშვილი), and drummer Dimitri Oganesian (Georgian: დიმიტრი ოგანესიანი).[1][2]

They released one self-titled studio album and one EP called 'The Lava EP', and are said to be influenced by many inspirational rock acts like The Beatles, Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Radiohead.
