The band was formed in 1999 by high school friends Travis Nesbitt (lead vocals) and Logan Jacobs (bass), under the name Fifth Season.

The band then landed a record deal with Interscope at the end of 2003, where they released their major label debut, A Year at the Movies In May 2004.

They gutted the basement of Jacobs' house, built a studio and spent the next year working on their second album called Social-Code that was released in May 2007, in Canada.

[2] The album was produced by John Travis (Kid Rock, Buckcherry) in Edmonton[3] and mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Hinder, Aerosmith).

[citation needed] On June 6, 2012, Social Code announced a permanent hiatus, and that the members were moving on to individual projects.
