Band formed

The band was formed in 2011 by Awsten Knight and Gage Matthieu, who met while playing in different bands including The Blue Poptarts. The band was later joined by drummer Owen Marvin, guitarist Tommy Denley, and briefly, keyboardist Tyler Comer. This lineup soon dissipated before the band’s first release. Their first EP, Airplane Conversations , was released independently on April 3, 2012, and was the only release with Matthieu and Marvin before they both left the band in 2012. Guitarist Geoff Wigington and drummer Otto Wood joined the band that same year following the prior departures. The band’s first show was on August 17, 2012 at Warehouse Live in Houston alongside Invent, Animate , DWHB, and Life as Lions. The band continued performing at local venues throughout Texas over the following years. The band performed as a supporting act for pop musician Aaron Carter , opening his Houston tour date on May 11, 2013. Their second EP, Black Light , was released on June 5, 2014. The band also performed on the Houston dates of the Warped Tour in 2013 and 2015.
