The band was founded in Munich in summer 2004 under the name "Spunk" by Philipp Leu (born September 24, 1982 in Munich), Julia Viechtl (born November 20, 1986 in Munich), Florian Lüdtke (born May 2, 1983 in Munich ) and a drummer who left the band after a short time and was replaced by Florian Wille (born October 7, 1986 in Munich). Florian Lüdtke soon left the band and was replaced on guitar by Raphael Dwinger (born October 29, 1986 in Munich). The musicians already knew each other from their school days together.
The positive review of the first demo recordings in a Munich city magazine made manager Marc Liebscher , who also looks after Sportfreunde Stiller , aware of the band.

The title She's in love with me , from the same album, was included in the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 07 in 2006.
In 2008 guitarist Raphael Dwinger left the band to go to drama school. The former guitarist Florian Lüdtke, who successfully completed his three-year acting degree, returned to the tour as a replacement. Lüdtke left the band again in 2009. The current live guitarist is Simon Schankula.
The second album, Plans for the Future , was released on May 14th, 2010. The first single, Wenn du Ich need me , was released digitally on April 30th.
