The band was formed in March 2004 by Andre Rahaman. The original members consisted of Andre, Ricardo, drummer Jude Mendonca and bassist Romeo Yong.

Following the success of numerous live shows performing cover songs and developing a strong fan base within the local rock scene, StruckRoot began working on original material to help promote the band locally and record their first demo.

After the departure of Jude and Romeo, the band went through several lineup changes before finally relocating to Sao Paulo, Brazil in January 2008.
