Underlined Passages was started as a duo studio project in 2014 by Frank Corl and Michael Nestor-former drummer, lead singer and guitarist of the band The Seldon Plan, when The Seldon Plan disbanded in 2013.[1] .[2][3] Shortly after Corl left the band in 2015, Nestor formed a live version of the band with bassist Rich Marcinek and percussionist Chris Shelley. In 2015, drummer Jamaal Turner joined the group and has appeared on all subsequent releases. Also In 2015, Underlined Passages joined Mint 400 Records and between 2015 and 2017 released three records with the label while touring as a live act.[4]

In September 2017, Underlined Passages released their third album Tandi My Dicafi.
