The band recorded their first eight-song demo during the late 1994, and released it independently on the compact cassette Berza bez granica (Stock without Borders). On April 1995, the band performed in Athens and Thessaloniki, meeting bands from punk rock scenes of other countries, and, encouraged with the experience, they started recording their debut studio album. Pretnja ili molitva (Threat or Prayer), produced by Bojan Antunović and released through Kontra Kultura records, featured ten songs, including a cover version of a Mutha's Day Out song, with lyrics in Serbian language entitled "Vodite me" (Take Me). On early 1996, guitarist Bojić left the band and was replaced by Milan Radojević. The new lineup recorded the band's second album, Fabrička greška (Factory Error), produced by Pacca The Zoom and released by Start Today Records. The album included a cover version of the Culture Club song "Karma Chameleon" and the song "Crveni makovi" ("Red Poppy") featured the lyrics of a patriotic song written by Nikola Hercigonja.

Inspired not only by touring, but also by the current political situation in FR Yugoslavia, the band wrote new material which appeared on the band's third album Minut ćutanja (Moment of Silence) featuring a new bassist, Đorđe Paligorić. The album, featuring fifteen songs, was recorded from winter until spring of 2000 at the Češnjak studio, and, as the previous album, was produced by Pacca The Zoom.
