It is the runners up band of Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017.[3] Formed in 2009, the band has played for numerous shows throughout Pakistan before performing in Pepsi Battle of the Bands. The three-member band consists of Ahmed Jilani (vocalist and lead guitarist), Lala Ahsan (drummer), and Raheem Shahbaz Sunny (bassist).
