Originating in Florida, childhood friends Ronnie Winter and Duke Kitchens started the band while attending an AP Music Theory class in 2001. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was officially formed in 2003 after the addition of other members who were then in other bands. The band name was chosen by the band voting for random words they threw on a wall. The original drummer and bassist left the band before having playing one show to join the military and to attend college, respectively. Winter took over on drums afterward. He eventually switched to vocals only because he could not stop running out of breath and passing out on the drum set.
