During its existence the band released five albums (604, Light & Magic, Witching Hour, Velocifero and Gravity the Seducer) and earned international recognition thank to such singles as Playgirl, Seventeen, Destroy Everything You Touch, Ghosts and Ace of Hz. At the moment, the team is on sabbatical. In 2012 Helen Marnie started her solo career.
