[1] Consider the Source started forming in 2004 after Gabriel Marin and Justin Ahiyon played together in a jam session and discovered their musical compatibility.

In 2012, Ahiyon left the group, and was briefly replaced by Louis Miller, before Jeff Mann took over on the drum kit.

The new trio continued to produce original material which was constantly being introduced at shows and resulted in two live albums.

In February 2014, Consider the Source completed a crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of their largest studio release, titled World War Trio.

Marin has stated, "Our music combines influences from Turkish, Bulgarian, North and South Indian styles with jazz and fusion, and then we filter it through our own heavy, rock and psychedelic sounds and approaches.

[10] Some of the group's major musical influences are Pachora, Paradox Trio, The Bad Plus, Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson, and Tool.
