Born from the shards of such bands as Persuader, The Ronis Bros, and Stillday, Pilla started out as a innocent folk-rock project in late 2002, but soon morphed into something totally different.

Born from the shards of such bands as Persuader, The Ronis Bros, and Stillday, Pilla started out as a innocent folk-rock project in late 2002, but soon morphed into something totally different.
