The project of making ultimate sound was first started by Soojin Lee. After the disbandment of his former band, Move Your Eyes, he was seeking for members to create a new band. Yushik Shin, who was a former member of T.V. Animals, was having a period of rest after the disbandment of his band. Soojin and Yushik gathered and began carrying forward the project. Soojin convinced Jahnny Shin, a former member of Move Your Eyes, to join the project and Yushik convinced Seth Kang, a former member of T.V. Animals, to join. Along with YK joining the project, they formed a band named Messgram in the winter of 2011. They explained that the mess in the band name means a disordered condition and the gram means a unit that gathers the mess, in other words, people with a different style and taste gathered and formed a band, a unity that organizes a mess that each individual has created. After the three years of preparation, the band released their debut EP, This Is A Mess But It's Us, on April 8 2014. In early November 2014, they drew public's attention by making a remake of Seo Taiji's single Soyeokdong.
