The band members consisted of four famous Korean artists; singer BoA, 동방신기 band member 시아준수 (Xiah Junsu), Epik High band leader/member 타블로 (Tablo) and pianist 진보라 (Jin Bora) In early November of 2007 the band held a showcase and released a music drama/video entitled AnyBand. It starred all four members whom played the roles of revolutionist(s). Unlike any of AnyCall's previous music dramas/videos it did not star 이효리 (Hyori Lee), who was known to be the main face of AnyCall. 이효리 starred and provided vocals in the previous three Any**** music drama/video series, with her absence in the latest of the Any**** series this sparked rumors that BoA was to take her place as the main face of AnyCall. Not only this, the music drama/video AnyBand was unlike its predecessors, it had no dance routine, two songs featured in the music drama/video and was of a sci-fi genre. Although the lack of similarity between AnyBand and the previous videos, AnyBand still turned out to be a success. Following the showcase and release of the music drama/video a digital single Anyband 애니밴드 (which consisted of 4 tracks including the two songs featured in the promotional video: TPL (Talk, Play, Love) and Promise U). Both songs hit #1 within days of release on internet music charts.
