Most of their songs are written by bass player Joakim Arnell. After the piano player Johan Blohm joined the band, they began playing the occasional country song. Two of their biggest hits are "Miss You Miss Belinda" and "One Dance, One Rose, One Kiss." In 2003 thay had a big selling album with Rock'n'Roll X-mas.
