The original line-up consisted of Travis Brown (lead vocals/bass), Johnny Smoke (guitar, backing vocals) and Chris Michaels (drums). The band recorded a four song demo and began playing small all ages and 21+ venues around Illinois. Split Habit released an E.P., “Broken Strings, Broken Sticks and Broken Hearts”, which was shortly thereafter incorporated into the bands first full-length CD “Rockstar 101”. The CD helped Split Habit land a booking contract with J. Francis & Associates, LLC.
The band began touring the Midwest and received strong review for their unique approach to pop, but the booking relationship expired after three months. The band’s popularity in Illinois and neighboring states continued to grow as Split Habit shared the stage with Stroke 9, Sum 41 and Showoff. The band release another four song E.P. entitled “E to the P” and became a headlining act at the premier all ages venue in Chicago “Metro”.
Unable to land a recording contract, Split Habit, continued to tour the Midwest releasing “Biting My Lip”, a five song E.P. that garnered a great deal of attention locally and airplay on Chicago’s alternative FM rock station Q101. During their promotion, they played the first of five consecutive years on Warped Tour.
“Biting My Lip” was the swan song for guitarist Johnny Smoke. Heavily reliant on the harmonies produced between Brown and Smoke, the remaining members exhaustively searched for a replacement. Frankie Cacciato joined the band in late 2002.

I'd say more "underappreciated". I think a lot of people just write this band off. But yes, very good.
