The band was formed in late 2007 by Patrick Kennison (Union Underground), Marty O'Brien (Disturbed, We Are the Fallen) and session drummer Chad Clark to film a video for Kennison's song "The Laughing Dead". In 2008 guitarist Dave Comer was added completing the quartet. Later that year Comer and O'Brien were replaced by guitarist Jesse Billson and bassist John Younger respectively.[3]
The group completed its first tour in mid-2009 dubbed the "Texas Takeover Tour".[4] Media coverage of the tour included a live performance on FOX-TV in San Antonio, TX.[5]
In August 2010, the band released a 10-track self-titled "EP",[6] and led a tour dubbed the "Horns and Halos Tour" which spans over much of the country and even Canada.[7] Before "The Mirror Never Lies" was released, Chad Clark left the band and was replaced by Julien-K and Dead by Sunrise drummer Elias Andra.[8][9]
