The band, founded more than ten years ago, first played a more "folk-rock" type of music. The songs (2 albums and several singles) were frequently heard on the radio. The first single "Ikävää" was at the top of the Radio Suomi hit parade for over 5 months. Even then the impact that Irish music was having on the band was clear, though, as they espoused the same ambiguous mix of the melancholy and the happy which is a characteristic of folk tunes. As the band settled into its present composition the Irish music took over completely.
