Information about the band

Formed in 2007, the band began while vocalist Brent Walsh and Ian Pedigo were still in high school together. The two taught themselves how to play guitar, and then started writing songs together as a two-man acoustic project, Breakpoint, but changed their name due to copyright issues. They released an acoustic self-titled EP in 2008. Later they recruited Chris Hinkley, who Brent and Ian met five years prior to the band's formation while he was playing with another band. The three then began to practice acoustic songs that Walsh and Pedigo had penned. Blake Dahlinger saw the trio performing at the Retox Lounge and asked the group if they needed a drummer.

For their debut album, We Speak, Dahlinger and Hinkley simply wrote the parts for their instruments for the existing songs that had already been written. The lyrics were written mostly by Walsh, with the exception of the song 101, which was written by Pedigo. We Speak was to be released through Bay Area indie label Talking House Records, the first label that signed the band, but the label went under before the album could officially be released. They released a free EP called Hearts and Spades containing five songs from We Speak, when they were unable to release the album as a whole. The group caught the attention of Brad Wiseman, a booking agent for Equal Vision Records. They sent him early demos of their songs "Cutting Room Floor" and "Escalators". The label sent the head of A&R out to see one of the band's shows in LA. They were signed to the label in 2011.
