Millions of people were deeply touched by the song named "It was May". It was the theme song of Kingston’s annual advertising, “A Memory to Remember” in 2013. He is Kowen Ko, who was the singer of the song, and searched crazily by the audience. We were searching for a long time before we heard his voice. Deep, hoarse, and old, an original touch is just like a rolling stone; wrapped in sand, but accidentally straight and pure. In 2015, after Kowen released the debut album of his own compositions- “If You Still Wander”, he was nominated for the 27th best male Mandarin singer and best new artist award. His album won the best album of the year, and "ten albums you cannot miss out" of GQ magazine in 2015.

First, they dropped their debut album—The Servile—a record of grief, love, justice and helplessness that was felt among a generation of Taiwan’s youth, playing over rebellious electric guitars and sardonic disco grunge. Their music forms a mirror of the punk-grunge spirit they embody. The band then won Best Rock Single (“Simon Says”), Best Band and Best New Talent in the Golden Indie Music Awards. In 2017, they won the Indie Artist of the Year in the 12th KKBOX Music Awards. Later in the 28th Golden Melody Awards, they received 3 honors, out of 6 nominations, including Song of the Year (“Simon Says”).
