Stereo Fuse was formed in 2000 after guitarist Jeff Quay and drummer Chad Jenkins were forced to disband their previous group.
The two left their former lead singer after a show in Atlanta in 2000, when the frontman told a particularly offensive joke and the band was asked to leave the stage.
Discovering singer-songwriter Colin Hill in Ft. Worth, the musicians formed Stereo Fuse and began writing and recording songs.
In 2002, their cover of Material Issue's "Everything" became a most-requested song in the South and Midwest US, and went on to become a top-10 music video as well as entering the Billboard top 20 in 2003.
The band toured with many well known acts, including Creed, Our Lady Peace, and Avril Lavigne.
