During a tour in December 2011, Andy and Bryan realized that they both wanted to start a hardcore band with Christ Stein. They agreed on newly transplanted Craig Mulcahy as the bass player and started working on the band a month later once Andy had moved to New Orleans. Seven songs were written and recorded in May 2011, and a show was scheduled to be played in August 2011. Unfortunately, Hurricane Isaac landed around the same time and knocked out most of the power in the city, so the show was canceled, and Andy moved to Oakland. Thou wasn't touring much, so we put together a short west coast tour in July 2013 with our friends in The Body. Since Jasper was driving us in his van, we decided to add him to second guitar for those shows.
