Meanwhile time passed and several members were parading different alignment within the group until Garry, bass and Dany's brother, joins them to assemble a new group called SHOCK. At this stage have the opportunity to record the theme of a television program which opens the door and takes them on tour to Panama. And this is where they realize that Mexican music is welcome in other parts of the world and that, whatever the cost, will devote everything to play for the rest of their lives.
In 2004, returning from Central America, the band recorded an EP of seven songs and presents it to Sony and Warner Music, without making these bets for his music. This is when they decide to invest all they have and buy a team (PA) audio and set up a stage to play for all schools and festivals in the metropolitan area, selling hand to hand your disk.
