Their achievement with his previous band "Jackvalve" taking the winning title of the largest battle of the bands competition in SA in 2013, namely the Klipdrift Battle of The Bands, has significantly helped them in their career as a band as well as their immense dedication and hard work in spreading their music and gaining a following.
