Errors formed as a bedroom electronic-based project in Glasgow in 2004 by members Simon Ward, Greg Paterson and Stephen Livingstone.

They were signed by Post-Rock band Mogwai to their Rock Action Records imprint, who released a limited run 7" single "Hans Herman".

In 2010, the band released their second full-length album Come Down With Me on Rock Action records, the title of which is a play on Channel 4 television series 'Come Dine with Me.'

Errors toured the US and Canada supporting Mogwai, during which drummer James Hamilton filled in on drums for the headliners.
