[3] Pulling inspiration from other groups involved in the early 2000s post-hardcore movement, Rosaline independently released their debut 8 track EP We're All Just Passing Through in 2005 with lead singer Joe Welch, who left the band shortly after to join the military.
On April 27, 2009 Rosaline announced their signing to Eulogy Records during an on-air interview with Chicago's rock radio station Q101.
Produced by Joey Sturgis and Joel Wanasek, guitarist Madison Stolzer described the album by saying: "A Constant North is always there, ya know?
The album will always be there; those emotions are pretty much always going to live on"[5] "A Constant North" was re-released in December 2009 in Japan through the major label Avex.
In a video featured on the Alternative Press website in April 2010, Rosaline revealed that they had begun tracking for their debut full-length album The Vitality Theory.
