They were one of the few Belgian blues-rock groups that were on par with several Dutch ones, such as Cuby & The Blizzards and Livin' Blues. They wrote their own material, mostly long slow blues numbers augmented by electric guitars and screaming vocals. The band didn't last much more than a year before they called it a day. Michael Heslop later formed Doctor Downtrip.
