The week before new years 2005, four guys got together for their first jam, and a day or two after were rehearsing songs with the full band.
KrisEvans had just left his previous band and had hooked up with Aaron Breitkreutz and the two started to make glorious music with the bass and guitar. Songs were being written like mad and sounded incredible to boot.
Meanwhile, Ben Harbak and Devon Wolfe were jamming in Devon's basement trying to find bandmates that 1. didn't think music was a joke, and 2. could play their instrument worth crap. They also played glorious music and searched desperately for the rest of a band to be glorious with.
As luck would have it I guess, Ben and Aaron met up and had a killer jam at Aaron's place. Both left the jam bouncing off the walls thinking they had found a new band. WRONG! no wait... Yeah that was actually right. Anyway, pretty much the next day, Ben and Devon went down to the studio where Aaron and Kris jammed and everyone hit it off. There was porn on the walls and guitars on the floor and a nice place to stick the drums, of course they hit it off. So a day or two after that, Devon brought his drums over and the band was a band.

Now all that was needed was a singer. The first one that tried out worked pretty well, so he recorded vocals on the demo, but then left. Singer after singer came through and didn't have what we wanted so we decided to do it all ourselves and go on without one..

At the beginning of January, 2006, Aaron left to persue other musical goals and we found a wicked new guitarist by the name of Paul Harmon. And...... that's it.
