Their first recording "Decay Encased in Photography" EP, available on iTunes, was released in 2006. The A/V Club (The Onion Tabloid) describes Rust Belt Sermon as "...an impressive blitzkrieg of political emo-punk..." and the sound as "jangled. ...fractured guitar shrapnel, colliding well with dissonant chords..." In an interview with The Wisconsin State Journal Vocalist/Guitarist Shawn Bass stated "My influences are: my band mates are actually my biggest influences. They push me to try different things more than listening to music..." Bands of influence and similar style include Stop It!, Life at These Speeds, Year of No Light, Baroness, Isis, At The Drive-In, Neurosis, Pelican, Red Sparowes, Russian Circles and These Arms Are Snakes.
