History

Sink This Ship! was successful as a musical act in the San Francisco Bay area, performing sell out shows in their hometown. Within the first six months of formation, the band had toured the Sacramento area, the Central Valley, and as far away as Reno, Nevada. The band toured California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho extensively during the summer of 2010.[3]

Sink This Ship! released a 3-song demo EP entitled Yeah Boss! on July 1, 2010.[4] After numerous other home demos and various lineup changes, the band changed names to As Artifacts, and attracted the attention of InVogue Records who quickly signed them and commissioned the band's debut InVogue release. Reclamation, a 7-song EP, was released on February 22, 2011, and debuted at #3 on the iTunes metal charts.[3]

The band embarked on multiple tours throughout the summer months of 2011, including the Gnarlie Sheen Tour, and headlining shows on the InVogue Records Tour.[3]
