The song "Premik Practical" will be of the dark-comedy genre, focusing on the current socio-economic situation of the world. In the present time, where everything revolves around love, it is necessary that we talk about the society around us, said one of the band members.

The band consists of only three members. While Pritam Das and Suman Ghosh are the frontrunners of the band from Kolkata, Kritee Roy later joined the band as its sole lyricist. They initially used to cover popular songs, but they have recently been working on original songs.
