Background

Much of their popularity comes from the website PureVolume, where they were the first band to a million plays. (They now have over 5,600,000 plays) For a time, they held the number one spot on PureVolume's Unsigned Artists page, but in 2005 they signed onto Outlook Music/Universal Records. The band has been featured in the Bamboozle Left tours numerous times, as well as playing the Ernie Ball "local heroes" stage at Warped Tour. They have had several releases, including their self-titled debut album, On the Strength of All Convinced , [5] which was released on July 26, 2005. Their latest album, Good Night, Witness Light , [6] [7] was released on March 27, 2007. On March 3, 2011, The California Aggie online edition posted an interview with the band where Sparks said "We actually just recorded an album and we're working with a label to hopefully release it this summer. It was a good process and we recorded the whole thing in two weeks. So right now we're still kind of stewing on the extra thing to do with it." [8]

On December 29, 2015, Kenny Choi and Jason Call appeared on The Casey Bates Podcast. [9] On the program, they discussed their early history, their decision to stop touring, and streamed three previously unreleased songs.
