We started in the summer of 2005. We originally didn't have a name and we played mostly cover songs from the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. We began writing our own songs (influenced by Saves The Day and artists similar to them) and throwing our own shows in our old guitar player's, Zach, basement.
Our first real show was at the old Club Logo's (now The Rooftop) in Franklin, Indiana on Friday, November 17th, 2006. We thought we were hot shit.
Over the next year or so, we played shows all over Indiana with all kinds of bands. Our style began to shift due to our personal preferences and interests in music.
We recorded a shitty demo at our friend's home studio. I feel bad for every person who paid money for that shit.
In July of 2007, we went to Burning Bridge Recordings (Haste The Day, Saints Never Surrender, In The Face Of War) to record some music. We weren't sure what exactly what we were going to with our finished product, but we wanted to do it. Ryan Warren from Ghost of Maine did most of the producing with some additional production from Joel Lauver from Trenches. Ryan was high most of the time, so it didn't end up awesome like we wanted, but they were still pretty good recordings.
We played more shows all over the place. We played some really good shows and then we played some really fucking shitty shows. We were all having a good time until Zach and Derek got suspended from school for smoking pot and then going to Friday school. Zach moved to his dad's in Nashville, Indiana and left the band. This left us with one guitar. Carter and Nash played the remaining shows acoustically while Dustin joined Take Hollywood Over (now Finding Solace) on guitar.
Around January of 2008, the acoustic shows came to an end and we tried to decide what to do about our predicament. We decided to ditch most of the old material and continue on with one guitar. All of our new material was total hardcore punk and we played our big comeback show on March 28th at the Emerson. And we've been playing shows ever since.
I mean a few things have happened since then. Like, xRuthlessx and us got a venue shut down and a few of us got arrested, but nothing other than that.
