First Batch
The first batch was discovered and developed by songwriter/arranger/music director Ryan Cayabyab.
The concept for the cover of their debut album stems from the idea that they should wear rags to describe the terrible situation of the scavengers living in a dump in Manila. Therefore, that's where the group name comes from.
In 1989, the group released its first self-titled pop album consisting of songs that revolve around social, environmental, and patriotic themes. The group's first blow, Kailan, was number one on national aircasts for eight consecutive weeks and the album reached gold, platinum and double platinum status within months of its release.
In late 1990, the group went on a "Better World" tour, performing at the UN World Children's Summit in New York and representing the Philippines at the 5th ASEAN Song Festival in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Second Batch
Must choose between formal school and two years, contract two albums for release in Europe and US, Tony Lambino and Jeffrey Hidalgo leave the group, while Geneva Cruz pursues solo & amp; released his first solo album "I like you". The group's popularity had reached its peak on the departure of 3 group members, however, Ryan Cayabyab held an audition to find new members to fill the void of the 3 founding members who left the group. Ryan Cayabyab then reformed the group with original member James Coronel and three new members, Shar Santos, Chedi Vergara, and Jayson Angangan. This second batch also has successful hits, such as Da Coconut Nut (about the benefits of coconut trees), Paraiso (literally heaven ) about the environment the degrading ones filled with rubbish and haze, and their own version of Kailan (boy version) They also won awards for both Paraiso , "Kahit Habang Buhay" and Tayo Na .
The media were very critical of the new members who joined James Coronel, but in 1992 at the Tokyo Music Festival the new lineup proved their worth as they won the grand prize in the contest. They also join the Golden Kite Festival & amp; won the Place 1 trophy, their album also sold more than the release & amp; has more touring in Asia and Europe.
Third Batch
Around 1993 they released the 3rd edition & amp; the international album "Know You Will", after the promotion of James Coronel's 3rd album will leave the group. The rest of the latest batch released 4th album "Death Penalty" & amp; dissolved a year later. In 1998, BMG Records (now Sony Music Philippines) released their fifth and last album Smokey Mountain "Smokiest Hits" with 12 songs.
