History

Formed in 1998 under the name Letter Twelve, the group signed to Tooth & Nail Records in 2004 and changed its name. The band's first, and only, release under this name was entitled "How The Lonely Keep", and in 2005 they went on tour with labelmates Anberlin. [ [http://wc07.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gpftxqrsldfe Biography] at Allmusic.com] The record hit #39 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart in 2005.

Shortly after the release of the album, all of the band's members except for lead singer Travis Bryant departed the group [ [http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/HowTheLonelyKeep.asp Album Review] , Jesus Freak Hideout, September 3, 2005. Accessed October 2, 2007.] during their tour with The Spill Canvas and Rufio; Bryant toured with Terminal as a solo act for the remainder of the tour. Bryant found replacements for the members later in 2005 and continued to tour behind the album, touring with Saosin, He Is Legend, The Juliana Theory, Cartel, The Working Title, Codeseven, The Receiving End of Sirens, and Yesterday's Rising. [ [http://www.nowontour.com/news/interviews/00102.php Interview with Travis Smiley] , NowOnTour. Accessed October 2, 2007.] Terminal split in January 2006; Bryant went on to join the group Goodbye Tomorrow (now called Alive in Wild Paint).
