The band formed in 2011, and self-released their first EP, The Rise. The EP, and its singles - "Immortal", "Bury It", and "Disclosure" (featuring Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive) were enough to gain the attention of Rise Records, who signed the band to the record label in late 2011. Rise Records chose to re-release the EP under the new title, I'm Not Dying Today, while the band began work on full-length debut album. After touring an working on the album throughout 2012, the band released their debut album Outcasts in May 2013.[4] To promote the album, they released a single titled "Outcasts", and toured with Capture The Crown, Heartist, and Famous Last Words. Outcasts debuted at #181 on the Billboard top 200 lists.[citation needed] The band continued to release songs into 2014, including their cover of Beyoncé's hit single "Drunk in Love".[5]

We are not holding anything back and can’t wait to make our mark with this sophomore release."[6]
