History

Formation, breakthrough, Heart Vs. Mind EP (2014–2016)

I Prevail was formed in late 2013. Shortly after, the band began working on their first EP. On December 1, 2014, the band posted a cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" to YouTube. It peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 23 on the US Mainstream Rock Songs chart. As of April 2017, the song has reached over 30 million YouTube views.[3] On December 10, 2014 the band released the first two singles from the EP, "Love, Lust, and Liars" and "The Enemy".[4][5] The band released their debut EP, Heart Vs. Mind, on January 26, 2015.[6] On March 12, 2015 rhythm guitarist Jordan Berger left the band due to other commitments.[7] The band added touring members Tony Camposeo on bass and Dylan Bowman on rhythm guitar, who later on became full-time members. The band embarked on the Heart Vs. Mind Tour and the Massive Addictive Tour. On June 24, 2015 they announced a summer tour called The Crossroads tour.[8] The band opened for Crown the Empire and Hollywood Undead in fall of 2015 on Day of The Dead Tour and played select shows, as well as opening for Pop Evil in December.[9]

On May 17, 2016, the band announced their headlining Strike the Match Tour,[10] with special guests The White Noise, My Enemies and I, and Bad Seed Rising[11] throughout the summer. The band also released a 30-second instrumental sound clip via social media, from their upcoming album.[12] On June 20, the band revealed the name of their debut album, Lifelines, and on July 21, announced it would be available from October 20.[13] The first single from the album, "Scars", was released on July 1.[14]

In late March/early April 2017, the band had their first major overseas headline tour, which included sold out shows across Australia.

Lee hadn't been touring with the band for over a month, leading to speculation that he was no longer in the band. The band later updated their Facebook page, showing that Lee was no longer in the band. The band soon after brought on Gabe Helguera to be their touring drummer.
