The first years
The group was formed in 2004 in Ladispoli near the Italian capital Rome by Marco "Becko" Calanca ( electric bass , vocals ), Ivan Panella ( drums ), Marco Mantovani ( lead guitar , background vocals ), Nicolò Arquilla (vocals) and Jacopo Iannariello ( Rhythm guitar ) was founded as a band with a catchy, poppy-emotional post-hardcore style.
In 2005 the musicians released the EP Aim For Tomorrow , which contains six pieces. It was produced in-house and is musically very different from the group's music today. On this EP the band played a mix of pop-punk and emotional passages. The singing of the former lead singer Arquilla was mainly screaming .
In 2008 the release of the second EP followed, which was produced by Still Life and StandBy Records and is entitled Your Face Down Now . At this point in time, the musicians had developed further musically and increasingly turned to post-hardcore . For the first time the group gave concerts outside Italy .

This EP is the last recording of the group with the musicians Nicolò Arquilla and Jacobo Iannariello, who both separated from the band in 2008.
