Career

The band was established by brothers Keith and Jordan Buckley, whose father, Michael Buckley, lectures Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo. They added to the initial lineup with guitarist Andrew Williams, bassist John McCarthy, and drummer Michael "Ratboy" Novak. In their first short tour covering the Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada vicinities, the band met Goodfellow Records producer Chris Logan, who released the band's debut EP "Burial Plot Bidding War" in 2000. The following year, Aaron Ratajczak replaced McCarthy as bassist before the band released its debut full-length album "Last Night In Town" that year under Ferret Records, leading to a tour for that album in collaboration with Killswitch Engage the following year.

In 2003, Steven Micciche replaced Ratajczak as bassist for the band's second full-length "Hot Damn!" and the band's subsequent American tour supporting "Jackass" star Steve-O. However, Micciche resigned from his position in 2005, being replaced by Kevin Faulk of "Between the Buried and Me" fame. However, three months after recording sessions for the band's third album "Gutter Phenomenon", he was replaced by Chris Byrnes of NORA, who left the band after touring with them at the Warped Tour 2006.Their sixth bassist, Keller Harbin of The Chariot, replaced Byrnes and played with the band for its tour with Atreyu on the World Championship Tour along with From First to Last and Chiodos. The band was featured on the 2007 Sounds Of The Underground tour. [ [http://www.soundsoftheundergroundtour.com/tours.html Sounds Of The Underground ] ] Former Shiner guitarist and From Autumn To Ashes bassist, Josh Newton, was inducted in September 2007 as the band's seventh bassist for a tour with Underoath.

In 2006 their song "The New Black" was featured as a bonus track in Guitar Hero 2 and also in the PlayStation 3 game MotorStorm. The band performed the song "We'rewolf" live on the ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live on Halloween of 2007.
