The band became more popular with audiences when they stood first runner up in a competition, Band-E-Mataram held in Kolkata by a music channel, Sangeet Bangla, record label Asha Audio and Sangbad Pratidin in 2005.
However, after the major line up change in 2020, the band has shifted to Alternative Rock music In 2001, when three Ashutosh College students, Kaushik, Abhijit and Souvik joined to form a band, Prithibi was found.
Before forming the band, three of them used to jam together at the canteen corner.
The band experienced a flurry of line-up changes until 2005, by which time a sort of permanency was attained – Kaushik (vocals), Bubun (guitars), Prosanto (bass), Arnab (drums), Samarpan (guitars) and Amin (keyboards).
By the end of 2007 keyboardist Amin left the band for some of his personal reasons.
