At the time Harri Jantunen and Timo Ranta were members of Loose Prick which had just recorded its first album that same summer.

The band sent a self-recorded rehearsal tape to a radio show which was heard by Takku Kotilainen from Kräk! label. Next, the band was booked into Microvox-Studio to record four songs as a proper demo. This led to a deal for a single which was recorded at Birdland Studio (2). Prior to the recording of the single, Timo Kipahti joined as the sixth-member. After the single, Nowadays was pretty much over. During its lifetime the band played only one gig. Timo Ranta returned to Loose Prick, but Harri Jantunen did not. However, Jussi Voutilainen and Timo Kipahti became Loose Prick members too.
