In January 2004 the band were included on a compilation album called "GUT+1", on which artists such as GEISHA GIRLS and Smokey&Miho were also present and in March of that year they participated in the single "The Love Bug". April saw the band perform at Tower Records’ "Japan Reggae Festa" along with artists such as PUSHIM and FIREBALL. "Up Right & Smiley", the band’s 2nd album, was released in June of that year and they were put on power play on Tokyo FM.

Thoughts

It was hard to find any music by this band, but what I did find seemed quite decent. Their songs have a relaxing, reggae beat and good female vocals.
