Artist History colorfast spontaneously congealed in the summer of 98, the result of a cosmic mishap and convenient coincidences. The existing framework of guitarists Ray Stein and Mike Greca, who had been playing together since childhood, and bassist Jim Payne, encompassed new singer Jason Crandell, and the quarter began spewing out original material. On a whim, they churned out their first album in just two months from their own studio, self-produced, arranged, engineered, and mixed.
