Formed in the mid-1980s by singer and songwriter Yiannis Koutsomitis, the group quickly developed a zealous following with their distinctive fusion of punk rock energy, post-punk aesthetics, and the impassioned spirit of Greek rock. They became a major part of the Greek rock music wave known as the "Golden Age," which spanned late 1980s to the early 1990s, with various groups breaking the mould of the traditional music that dominated Greece's airwaves.
Throughout their career, Mora sti Fotia maintained a commitment to raw, unadulterated rock sounds and incisive lyrics, addressing social and personal themes that resonated with their audience.

They've commemorated their journey with live recordings such as "20 Hronia (Zontani Ihografisi Sto Kittaro)"—a testament to their powerful live presence and endurance in the Greek music industry. The group’s reputation for crafting gritty, compelling music is evident in tracks like "Kato Stin Poli" and "To Chryso Kleidi."
