Artist History In the fall of 2001 David, Clovis, Josh, and a friend formed a band called Alias and played one show before they dispersed forvarious reasons. Clovis never was able to play that show and Alias had to pick up another friend to fill in on drums. Then in the winter of that same year Josh started a band with Tim and they asked a friend to play drums, but eventually that drummer had to quit. Quickly they picked up a bass player and drummer to continue playing and got three shows beneath them before they had to break up also. Spring of 2002 David, Tim, and Josh planned on starting a band through the summer but didn't know who they could get for bass or drums. News soon came that Clovis was returning from college and would be available to play, so that left them looking for a bass player but not sure where to look. At a local benefit concert David and Josh were checking out the talent, not actually looking for a bass player, when they met Matt. After the show they didn't waste time to ask him to join the band when they started practicing and it didn't take much for Matt to say "Yes." So there they were; Josh, Tim, David, Clovis, and Matt. On June 7th, 2002 theleventhour came together to begin writing music and performing. As a group they had decided before hand that their main goal was going to be to give hope to people who needed it without pushing them. They had watched people turn away because of being forced or condemned because of things and they wanted to relate to people however they could. They didn't want to just be a band for Christians but for anyone that liked their music. If being five Christian guys in a band made them a Christian band then they would embrace that classification, but they were not goning to be only for Christians to listen to. That day they began creating Give, Collide, and One More Day. Writing three songs in one day surprised the band and they knew there was something different about them. They continued spending their summer writing and developing their sound. By their first show, in Grove City, OH, they had 8 originals. Grove City was an enjoyable event until they woke up the next morning to an empty equipment trailer. theleventhour kept their head up and saw that God was doing something in them and through them. It was two months before the band saw their new equipment, so in the meantime they practiced and played their first local show with borrowed instruments. They even recorded a praise and worship song, Forever, during this time to enter into a contest. By November the band found themselves blessed; being able to buy brand new equipment and afford some extras. By the end of October they had joined with Rock for Life and been added to their list of bands that stand up against abortion. They are listed among Audio Adrenaline, PAX 217, Relient K, and P.O.D. to name just a few.
