History
The band formed in the year 2009 while still in high-school. Their first release was a pop-punk/easycore demo, after which the band modified their genre to adopt a more indie rock sound. In early 2012, the band signed to Run For Cover Records.[2][3] The band released their first full length album in 2013 titled Youth. The album was recorded in Studio 4 with producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Circa Survive, Braid). In June 2014, the band announced they would be going on a fall tour in support of Youth, starting early September in Toronto, Canada, and ending mid-October in Cleveland, Ohio. The tour was supported by the bands You Blew It!, Hostage Calm, Praise, and True Love.[4][5] In late July 2014, the band released a single titled Silo on Run For Cover Records.[6]
