Since the group's original formation in 2003, the band's line-up underwent much change.

The band signed to Equal Vision Records, through which they first released a 3 song self-titled EP under the name Goodbye Tomorrow.

On September 29, 2007, the group changed their name to Alive in Wild Paint, following the lineup changes. The name comes from Richard Bach's 1977 novel Illusions. [2] They released one album, Ceilings, which was produced by Mark Trombino and released in 2008. [3] [4] In early August 2008, the band had their trailer and gear stolen.
