Background

They formed after the disbandment of The A-Sides in 2009, where they originated from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, being Jon Barthmus and his drummer Patrick Marsceill. There was a brief hiatus in 2013 with speculation that the band had disbanded once again, after only seeing a few posts on their Facebook page between 2012 and 2016. Speculation was put to rest with the announcement of their third album.[1][2][3]
