History

Longtime friends Moody and Buckner found themselves together at Ben Moodyʼs Hollywood home/studio in Summer 2012. Moody states, “We didnʼt set out to do anything serious. We were really just going to get together and play some covers for fun, but it was evident very quick that there was something special going on. After a few songs, it was obvious that we had something different than weʼve ever done before.”

On September 19, 2012 the first interview with the band was published on Revolver Magazine website. The page also featured the band's debut song, "Beauty Is The Beast".[1]

On November 27 through December 1, 2012 the band debuted live on ShipRocked 2012 alongside such bands as Godsmack, Korn, Five Finger Death Punch, P.O.D., Sevendust, Filter, 10 Years, Fuel, Pop Evil, In This Moment and others.[2] Newell joined the band as bassist before the show and it became permanent.

On May 28, 2013 The Halo Method released their debut EP Reset which features four songs: "Toxic", "Beauty Is The Beast", "Porcelain" and "Crutch". It was made available for free download on ESP Guitars website.

On June 3, 2013 Revolver Magazine website released the band's first video for "Toxic".[3]

On January 10, 2014 Dave Buckner stepped down from his position as drummer of the band citing location and logistics as his reasons for doing so. Miles McPherson (Look What I Did; Hot Action Cop; Kelly Clarkson; Tonic; Paramore) has been recruited to take his place.

gollark: So how does the slow genetic algorithm thing relate?
gollark: What are the axes?
gollark: Well, your graph looks very graphical, I suppose.
gollark: Yes. It might not be possible to do anything but somehow optimize the genetic-algorithm-based approach then.
