Artist History The band was formed roughly 3 years ago, with Amidei and Chris 'Crash' Durant meeting as high school classmates. Upon this meeting the two formed a friendship, found they shared similiar interests and goals in music, and began holding early writing sessions. Fast forward to the Summer of 2000 - with material now written for what would become their first offering, Geographies, the two looked to round out their sound with a full band line up and begin recording. Not having to look far, Amidei's brother David Preston was added by Winter of that year and the trio was complete.
