The band was formed in Brussels, Belgium, in 1992.

After two years of existence under the name of STS (that's for 'Sexual Tempest of Sound' !), they decide to record their first album, Body & Soul, which was |

Their second album, When, was conceived as a double EP : in a superb 4 flap digipack, you would

The second part of their 'Double EP' album, Yaakov's Quest was originally supposed to be
marketed in a carton sleeve, his place being already reserved inside the When?

Instead of putting out a new album, the band deicded to present a few new tracks, on a 5-track CD, M. Nice Guy ?, produced in 6 days : |

And here is Glitch the third true album from the SemiToneS, again, self-produced. "A new line-up per album, or die !" What seems to be SemiToneS' motto. Tony Desir is off to new musical horizons, replaced by David Fisicaro. The album was |
