Information
From 1994 to 1996 the band continued to play in small clubs in Seoul, finally releasing their first album, Bidulguineun Haneureui Jwi in 1996. The album was in many critics' lists of top ten albums for 1996. The following year the band contributed a cover of the Nirvana song, "Come As You Are" to the Nirvana tribute album Smells Like Nirvana.
In 1998, the band released their second full length album, Huildam. This album proved to be quite popular as well, becoming the number one seller at the Shin Nara record chain in South Korea, as well as making it into the Good Records Top Ten List.
In 1999, the band released several songs, one on the compilation Indie Power 1999, one on the compilation Open the Door, and one on the soundtrack album Rush OST.
The band changed record labels in 2001, moving to CUJO Entertainment which at the time was home to bands such as No Brain and Punk Killer. The following year they released their third album, Kkumui Popsong. Again the album proved to be a critical success, with many music webzine dubbing the album, "Album of the Year."
The band followed up this album in 2004, releasing Sunganeul Mideoyo.
