[2][6] John Wylie who had left Culture earlier that year wanted a band with more intense and personal views.

In December 1995, Morning Again was formed with Damien Moyal and Louie Long who had both been in Culture in the two prior years, on vocals and drums.

During this time Ervin was also replaced, first by Christopher "Floyd" Beckham, then by Peter Bartsocas (who was in Bird of Ill Omen, a band that had toured with MA early that year, and was on Wylie's record label).

Matt Thomas came in to replace Long and the band gained attention of Revelation Records who quickly signed them.

The group ultimately decided on breaking up by the end of the tour in the fall of 1998, partially as a result of Wylie's growing interest in pursuing Eulogy Recordings.

The first was in 1999, where they played under the name Cleanest War, which featured Damien Moyal back on vocals as well as Wylie and Ervin from the original line-up.

[11] The line up for that show was Moyal on vocals, Wylie on guitar, Ervin on bass and Wes Keely on drums.

Later that year with Kevin Byers on vocals, they played in Japan for the Bloodaxe festival as well as a few shows in Tokyo and Nagoya.
