History

As The Convocation Of..., the band was formed by George France, Tonie Joy, and Guy Blakeslee in August 1998.[1] Joy had previously played in the punk, indie and emo groups Moss Icon, Universal Order of Armageddon, The Great Unraveling, and Born Against.[2]

Following their debut Lab Remix Series Vol. 3 EP, the group's self-titled debut album was released on Gold Standard Laboratories in 2000.[3] A follow-up, Pyramid Technology, appeared on Tigerstyle Records in 2001.[4] In early 2002, Blakeslee left the group and founded The Entrance Band. The Convocation Of... went on a hiatus.

With Matthew Hall (formerly of Red Scare) on bass, the band reunited under the name The Convocation in 2005.[5] Hall was replaced by Jason Stevens in 2008, and the group released a new EP on Gravity Records the next year. Two years later, Stevens was replaced by bassist Chris Camden.
