Surya Goutham (Lead guitarist) and Revanth Prem Kumar (Rhythm guitarist) are two talented guitar-playing brothers who joined the band later by the end of the year 2010. They also influenced the band highly by bringing in a lot of flavor for this particular genre of music which made the entire sound of the band much better. The band initially started off doing covers during the earlier stages, but later moved on to composing original content. The band evolved through the years and grew as musicians along with it. The band writes its music based on things that, as youngsters, can be comprehended. And providentially the crowd can relate to it as well.
