When vocalist/guitarist Jared Draughon and guitarist Mitchell Marlow assembled in the early months of 2002 in their hometown of Chapel Hill, NC to collaborate.
Draughon and Marlow were no perfect strangers to partnering in bands. Both had shared the stage in an early melodic-punk incarnation, but had been separated for two years, with Marlow living and studying in Brooklyn, NY. After a lengthy interval in NC searching for a desirable rhythm section (to no avail), Marlow persuaded Draughon to relocate the band to Brooklyn where they would begin rehearsing with Marlow’s former Sound of Speed drummer, Stephan Linde. Shortly afterward, they recruited bassist Eric Mendelson, a cohort from New Jersey, who rounded out the initial lineup of the band.
The four began a rigorous rehearsal schedule over the following year and recorded and released an EP dubbed “It’s Been Business Doing Pleasure With You”. The band quickly began gaining attention while playing with everyone from Puddle of Mudd and Orgy to Taking Back Sunday and The Used, showing their duality and holding their own with audiences regardless of the confines of genre.
In 2004, original drummer Stephan Linde, was replaced by his longtime friend and fellow Long Islander, Durijah Lang (Glassjaw, The Stryder). After several months of touring and writing, the band delved into a Manhattan recording studio for 3 months to record their debut full-length, Dress to Depress. Echoes of early-90’s, post-hardcore bands Helmet and Quicksand, as well as 80’s icons U2 and The Police, reverberate throughout.

they use to have like all their music up on here. i had both of their cds on my computer, including in their ep but it all went down the drain when my laptop decided to freak out. ps. they broke up. listen to Josh Moore, Telescreen, or even Saves the Day..since the drummer is with them right now.

I bought the bassist's bass head from Guitar Center a month or two ago. Thought that was pretty cool.

Some tracks on the new album are amazing (Devil's Advocate reminds me of dredg). Others are scary bad; vocal harmonies are out of tune. One singer (not sure who) is much better--the other should stop singing.
