They won the eighth edition of the Villa de Madrid contest, leading to their first EP, Sangre Azul, in 1985. After "Lili" Castañosa's departure, Tony Solo took over vocals and they signed with Hispavox, releasing their debut album, Obsesión, in 1987. The band achieved success with albums like Cuerpo a cuerpo (1988), featuring hits like "No eres nadie" and "Dueño y señor", and El silencio de la noche (1989).
