It all started in the summer of 2003 when Ryan Dupont was busy working with fellow song writer Brian Alex (Entrain, solo artist, session player.) One day while shopping at a Guitar Center store, Alex had the opportunity to introduced Ryan to his friend, guitarist Brian Dixey (a.k.a. "the other Bri".)

Both Ryan and Brian (the other Bri) had been in search of musicians to play with so this introduction went over well. The two decided to put their efforts together in an attempt to start a new band. First after this decision was the search for a rehearsal studio, followed by a trial of various musicians. Although a search for other musicians can become tedious, they continued to work on song writing and the search for the rest of the band. With the help of good timing and good connections, Ryan recruited his long time friends Tommy Irvine on bass guitar and Jayce Varden on drums.
