In 2000 they released their first EP, '' Straight Lines''. The band was put on hold when, in 2003, González's solo career took off, at which time he left his studies and started touring and living from music. In 2005, the band released its second EP, '' Black Refuge'', after which González again embarked on a solo tour. The band released their first full-length album, ''
