The band's original lineup consisted of brothers Justin (lead guitar and vocals) and Kayle Greiman (bass) with drummer Brett Schoneman.
Philmore's self-titled debut album was released on Five Minute Walk Records in June 2000, featuring the track "Our Finest Hour", and a cover of Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer".
The inside cover features a photograph of the band wearing mirror sunglasses and jeans with holes in them.
Philmore were heavily influenced by MXPX, and their music combined punk rock with a 1980s edge of pop and glam metal.
