Background

Formation

The band was formed by guitarist Justin Whitesel after finishing a tour with Eyes Set To Kill.[6] He wrote multiple songs, even employing the help of longtime friend and colleague Jinxx of Black Veil Brides fame to help with recording duties.[3][5][7] Whitesel then went on to enlist Cooper Campbell for all vocal and drum duties and Jon Weisberg for all bass and additional guitar duties.[3]

Show And Tell video shoot and signing with Another Century Records

On August 26, 2013 the band released their first single and accompanying music video for the song Show And Tell.[7][8][9][10][11][12] They hired session members to fill the roles of rhythm guitar and drum duties, as Campbell would be unable to front the band as the singer and play the drums at the same time. The song was met with primarily positive reviews [9][13] and even got them a feature in Substream Magazine's Top Unsigned Bands.[14]

In September 2014, longtime friend (and former LoveHateHero bandmate) Kevin Thrasher of Escape The Fate asked the group if they’d be interested in playing their first show with them at The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA. The band agree’d and decided to employ Ronnie Ficarro (ex: Falling In Reverse) for and Justin McCarthy (ex: I Am Ghost) for all bass and drum duties, respectively.[2]

The show gained a lot of industry attention,[15] including Century Media Records. In June 2015, the band announced they have signed a worldwide record deal with Another Century Records under Sony Music Entertainment.[3]

The Struggle EP and future

On October 2, 2015 the band released the The Struggle EP.[4][16][17][18][19][20][21] It had a limited US-only release and received generally positive reviews from outlets throughout the nation.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] The album was featured on Highwire Daze's Top 10 of 2015 List[30], Modern Rock Review's January Choice,[31] and was featured as a free-stream for one week on the frontpage of Substream Magazine's Website[32]

The band was recently featured on Rock the Vote[33] and is currently writing their debut full length record.
