They were in the same youth group and wanted to start a hardcore band. Two EP's were recorded in this formation: Innocence Surround and Introduction. In the end of 2006, drummer Jason Pickard left the band and was replaced by John Paul Penton. Joshua Plesh also left the band. Ross Kenyon (who was fronting Penknifelovelife at that time) contacted Jeffey Helberg through the internet and told him he wanted to sing in an American band because his girlfriend lived there. After being in the States for three months, Ross was forced to move back to England and John decided to quit the band. In July Ross moved back to California and Arin Ilejay joined the band on the drums. In this formation they recorded Shout The Truth and their videoclip for If We Were A Sinking Ship. In March 2009 two new members were introduced to the band: Joshua Paul and Joel Piper. Aaron and Arin left the band because they wanted a normal life off the road. With Joel taking over the clean vocals, they re-recorded Shout The Truth and also a cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights'. They also recorded a videoclip for that song. In August 2009 Billy Pruden, bassplayer and founding member, left the band to do Biblical studies to move into full time ministry. He was replaced by Trevor Vickers. Vickers was introduced on their national headliner tour 'Thriller Tour' with Agraceful. They also recorded a video for 'I Never Saw It Coming' in September. In December 2009 the band recorded their new album with Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack!). The album is set to release in May 2010.
