Project 86

In 1996, Schwab formed Project 86 with, Matt Hernandez, Ethan Luck, and Randy Torres and recorded a Demo. Hernandez left soon after and was replaced by Luck, who was replaced by Alex Albert on the Drums. Luck left a year later and was replaced by Steven Dail.^[4]

Project 86's first five albums consisted of this lineup before Albert departed and was replaced by Jason Gerken, formerly of Shiner and Open Hand.^[5] The band recorded two albums and two EPs with this line-up before the remaining members, minus Schwab, quit the band.

Gerken was replaced by Scott Davis, Dail was replaced by Mike Williams, and Torres was replaced by Dustinn Lowry. The band recorded Wait for the Siren before Davis and Williams quit. They were replaced by Cody Driggers of The Wedding and Ryan Wood formerly of 7 Horns 7 Eyes.

The band, along with Darren King, of The Overseer, recorded their ninth album, Knives to the Future in 2014. Lowry quit the band and was replaced by King in 2015.^{[citation needed]} Their latest album, Sheep Among Wolves, was the result of a wildly successful crowdfund campaign to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the band.
