The boys have dedicated their third album specially for Peace - Saamaya. This is a topic not only for our war torn beautiful land but, at the moment it appropriated to the whole world.

And about War' he stated.

The album contains 15 songs, released and distributed by M Entertainment.

'We think, as song writers and musicians we could do a lot, to bring a positive vibe to all the people. Because fans or an audience listen and accept your message and music, we use this advantage. In this album we convey a big message of PEACE to the world, also with "Doi Doi" a message to the youngsters and respect to our parents' Rohitha explained in his mail.

Rohitha and Rohan lost their loving father in June and the boys were here in Nattandiya beside their busy schedule.

‘It is a great loss. He gave us the maximum backing for our musical life from the very childhood, later then managing our band Serendib, when we were in Sri Lanka. Even the song "Doi Doi Doi" in our new album was a dedication to our loving Parents’ he added
