Artist History The band met and formed at a little College in Greenville Illinois. We had played together on each others recordings, filled in for each others band members, and even been in bands together at school. That year (2001) Andy and Chad came to school where Brian, Josh, and J.T. were going. The band just formed on a whim because all of us had quit our former bands. The band played together through the year. That year we won a big battle of the bands competition and decided to go for it. Ever since that summer we've been playing festivals and clubs, writing songs, showcasing, recording, and doing our best just to make good music.
