Background

The band is the brainchild of founding members Alex Sheldon (guitar) and Adam McMillion (drums) back in 2004. McMillion, who had recently graduated from Churchill High School in Michigan, met together in college and started playing together. The band was soon rounded out by the addition of Josh Frost (vocals), Jim Czech (guitar), and Eli Clark (bass).

In 2006, their debut EP Ghosts was released. They were signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released their new debut album A Fire So Big the Heavens Can See It on April 1, 2008. A Fire So Big the Heavens Can See It charted at No. 46 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.

On June 19, 2012, the band released a YouTube video called "Search the City is alive!" in which the band announced a new demo, released on June 27 and a band member change, introducing 21-year-old Travis Bobier (originally from the band Aria Aesthetic) as the new vocalist of the band, taking the place of former vocalist Josh Frost, Chris Jenkins replacing former drummer Adam McMillion, and Joe Marks taking a permanent place of former full-time bassist Jim Baird, and bassists Eli Clark and Brandon James Ellis.

Original vocalist, Josh Frost, has begun work on his first solo project Kodiak Jack as well as opening up a recording studio called The Elephant Room, and in 2014, opened a second location in Nashville, Tenn., run by longtime friend Josh Colby.

Their second album, Flight, was released on September 3, 2013. Four singles were released from this album: "Light the Fire", "Watch the Stars Fall", "Whispers & Memories" and "One Last Lullaby" including three more singles: "The Runaways", "Heartstrings" and Rewrite the Ending".
