ORIGIN
We just wanted to form a band of the best musicians that we could find.  Ryan had been coming up with beats and was looking to start a band. Ryan and Mark were high school friends so they started writing music together. Through a mutual friend Ryan and Jowed were introduced, and then started collaborating with each other.   Ryan, Jowed and Mark made the Premature album. After that album was released they knew they needed to find a drummer and bass player.  Brian had a strong reputation as a killer drummer who was in a metal band already.  Scottie had been a member of the CBC Jazz Band.  Then in the fall of 2006 Justin, being a very established and talented musician himself, joined on as a 2nd guitarist.

We have a sound that is all our own, it comes from the merging of different musical influences that blends together for a very Eclectic sound.

ANECDOTE
We played Warped Tour last summer and it was an unbelievable experience, being a part of it instead of just a spectator was just numbing.
