Since that moment the musicians started working together. Two years the team played the compositions of other performers in pubs and clubs. In 1994, after leaving the team of Oliver Jones, Daniel and Darren decide to unite to create their own musical project. The partners had quite a bit of experience, but they managed to create melodies based on the style of their idols of the eighties. After spending a year, this duo of unknown young people created 150 demo cassettes, which included five tracks. They were sent to record companies and managers. They received a response from John Woodruff. This person, after listening to the record, saw the talent and flew to Brisbane to invite the duo to his company called JWM, and also to Rough Cut, a publishing company.
