Artist History The band began around the beginning of 2001. Originally Jason, Dan, Eli and Mike. They quickly wrote 5 or 6 songs and played a few shows. A 3 song demo was recorded, but they were pressed for time, making it low quality and just plain shitty. The band had to go on hiatus over the summer due to members being away. They started up again as the new school year began and aquired a new bassist by the name of Chris. The wrote more (better) songs and played a few more shows. In July of 2002 they finally finished their first full length. The band is currently looking to play more shows.
