The Couple story began way back in 1995, when Aidil, formerly of Pet Hate Minors (which also featured Al-Kautsar, bassist for ALAM) hooked up with An as a twosome of just Guitar and Drums similar to the White Stripes in college (hence the moniker "Couple" - no! not because it's a gay band!!) and released their out of print demo "In Love".

Aidil, the creative force and principal songwriter, later left to pursue his Law Degree in the UK, and had played with an alternative country band. Upon returning to Malaysia, they got back together and enlisted Ramzi, Aidil's high school friend as bassist to complete the line-up.

The group later added Ariff as a drummer for gigs that An (who is based in Kuantan) was unable to attend; and Mikhail as backing vocals and guitars. An later left Couple to pursue his career; and subsequently Ariff also left to pursue his studies in the UK and was replaced by Azmill. Azmill thenleft the band in February 2004 to be the lead singer with the band 'Geraha' How Spinal Tap can you get?

Currently, Ihsan of Custom Daisy is sitting in on Drums. Thanks Ihsan!!!
