Fresh was founded April 22, 1989 on the
Crazy & RCS Party 1989 by Iceman/ISI Soft, Graphics-Boy, Project B,
Shake (subgroup) and
Welfare Software Boys (subgroup). 2 months later Krush joined in as main cracker. The first
Fresh Intro gained a lot of attaention in the Swiss scene: it was coded Mat and the music was exclusively composed by Tim of
Modern Arts, one of the most progressive demo groups back then.
After the
Crazy Stardom Copy-Party 1989 (August) in Le Locle the 2 Swiss demogroups
Future Vision Switzerland and
Trap joined Fresh.
Mainly in 1990, a war with
Computer Freaks Association was ongoing. Both groups were competing for being Switzerland's #1.
Computer Freaks Association released a small anti-demo called
Fresh on Top. The war was officially ended at the
Swiss Pirates Reunion 2002 (nowadays there are many friendship boundaries between the former 2 opponents).
Was in co-op with
Century for short while in February/March 90. The co-op was stopped due to a lack of
Century cracks.
After the
Fresh Party 1990 (April) Krush, Ogygene and Mirage left to built up a new Swiss group together with The Sexton/G*P called
Abstract, which later then joined forces with the ashes from the Swiss demogroup
Future Concepts and renamed into
Crusade.
Also in April 1990 a small but neat Austrian section was built by Awesome & Beast. They have produced some one file demos and due to the good connections to
Lotus, Awesome has supplied a couple of hot originals.
In May 1990 some Fresh members have been working on a project to join forces with
The Ancient Temple. Both group got to know eachother at the
Fresh Party 1990. Project names were SAPPHIRE or LIFE IS A BEACH. There was no agreement on the name, so the project never was realised.
In June/July 1990 a German section in Cologne was built around Spy, Trax & Scoundrel. After their lame release
Lost in Time , they have been kicked out.
Was in co-op with
Holocaust from August 1990 to October 1990. The coop started with Fresh's first release of
Back to the Future II 5. The co-op later was stopped due to a lack of Fresh cracks in that period (main cracker Graphics Boy had left the group to join
Crazy).
Fresh died in late 1990 when Freestyle and Dave joined
Talent.
