Their debut album “Super Van Vacation” from 2011 revolutionized European Rock with its heavy sound and Vintage vibes, cementing their role as leaders of the Greek Heavy Rock scene. With later releases such as “Vultures” and “Repeated Exposure To…” they demonstrated outstanding songwriting skills and received critical acclaim securing not only local, but also international acclaim.
