The band was formed by Peter Toh and Scottie Redix in 1999 after their previous project, Yearly, disbanded following the departure of bassist Eben D'amico, who left to join Saves the Day.

They added former Glassjaw drummer Durijah Lang, and moved Scottie Redix to guitar and backing vocals.

Scottie stated in a 2019 interview that the split from Johansen was amicable and due to the change in creative direction the band was going in.

In 2006, Toh then went on to start an internet TV/new media company, Hidden Track TV with Adam Schleichkorn, and released a solo EP titled "Shoes of a Beast".

Redix is also a member of the musical collective Teachers, who also have an album titled "Anesthesia" slated for an early 2013 release.
