Members: Regino, Nerd, David, Paulo, Camilo

The band was born in Medellin, Colombia, in 1997, forming what would be the first demonstration of the citys new punk-rock sound. The band, with a sound strongly influenced by the punk tendencies of California, sings powerful lyrics with strong words that talk about the everyday lives of the young punks and skateboarders of the 90s in the city. After several shows sharing the stage with the most recognized bands of the citys punk-rock scene, they recorded their first album in 1998, titled Solo quiero diversion (I Only Want Fun). This was the beginning of neo-punk in Medellin. Solo quiero diversion led the way for the citys other bands and strengthened the local scene that gave Medellin recognition at the national level as the punk-rock city of Colombia. This same year, the band was featured at Rock al Parque (Rock at the Park), receiving the best comments thanks to their strength and the 110% effort they demonstrated at each show. After several more years of constant shows all over Colombia, sharing the stage with the countrys various genres of rock bands, the band began writing and recording its second album. In 2004, Por honor (For Honor) was released, with a rockier sound and their first widely successful song Creer (Believe), which was played continuously for two years. In 2005, they began the composition of their third album and released the song Rocanrol (Rock and Roll), which stayed at number 1 on Medellins radio for three consecutive weeks. After almost two years of composition and preproduction, and concerts with bands like 2 Minutos (2 Minutes) and H2O, in 2008 they finished the recording of Cinema Johnie. Which is downloadable totally free at their website.
