Music history

The band formed in 2006, with their first release, Dear Children, a studio album, that was released on January 1, 2008, from Blood and Ink Records.[2][3][4][5][6] During their time as a band they have shared the stage with multiple notable acts, including but not limited to: Haste The Day, and, August Burns Red. While they disbanded in Winter 2009, the band continued to play a show or two on occasion following their break-up. In October 2012, the band announced on their facebook page that they would be recording new material, and that the new material would be released for free,[7] following into 2013. In August 2017, Yours For Mine played their reunion/final show at The Golden Pony in Harrisonburg, Va. with two bands from their city, Bloom and Maple Union. During the performance, they played three unreleased tracks, calling them "The Cabin Songs". Later on, the band re-entered the studio to record these songs.

On August 19, 2019, the band released a video[8] and audio recording[9] of their reunion/final show two years prior, making this their first release since 2008. A few days later, a follow up post was made confirming they were still working on the upcoming album.[10] Finally, on February 23, 2020 it was announced that the album had been completed.[11]
