The Backseat Lovers were formed in 2018. Lead singer and guitarist Joshua Harmon and guitarist Jonas Swanson first met while waiting in line for an open mic in Provo, Utah in 2017. The two were joined by drummer Juice Welch and bassist Ethan Christensen. Christensen was later replaced by KJ Ward. Harmon was previously the vocalist of the indie rock band Moody Pulp. In June 2018, the group won a “battle of the bands” competition at Velour, a Provo venue. That month, the band also self-released its first EP, Elevator Days .
