P.I.F. was established by Dimo ​​Stoyanov and Ivan Velkov in Varna back in 1992 under the name Resemblence. During this period, the band's songs were in English and their stage performances were mainly in Hungary. After 1999 the band started performing in Sofia under the name P.I.F. (Patriots In Fashion). In 2000 the debut album "P.I.F." was released. It enjoyed great popularity and received the award of the first Bulgarian music television MM for album of the year.
