Point of Recognition had been playing for about a year before releasing their debut album Admiration of a Son on Rescue Records in 1999.
Four of their songs were also included on a 3-way split CD, titled Now the Tables Have Turned, on Facedown Records (along with Torn In Two and Cast In Stone).
With the heavier sound from the Refresh, Renew album, the band toured with the likes of H2O, All Out War, Throwdown, No Innocent Victim (Southern California neighbors with whom they perform often), among many others, quickly gaining fan support.
With No Innocent Victim and former Dodgin' Bullets guitarist Tim Mason joining the group in 2002, the band would release their final album Day Of Defeat in June of that year.
The band called it quits in October 2002 in order for the members to pursue other interests, musical and/or family.
