Therefore I Am

Alex had first grabbed the attention of the other members by submitting a copy of their distributed instrumental demo with his vocals recorded over the original tracks.

The band's success did not begin to grow significantly until February 2005, with release of their first EP entitled "The Modern World, A Battlefield".

In support of the release, the group tirelessly played at local venues and continued to write as their fan base grew.

Their second independent release, simply entitled "The Summer EP", became available (strangely enough) in the fall of 2005, and was proof that the band members were maturing musically as individuals and as a whole.

Brandon and the rest of the band members made the decision to have him leave Therefore I Am and continue playing drums for Vanna.

However, their plans were put on hold again with yet another departure; Aleks chose to leave the band in late March 2006 to pursue other endeavours.

With a final line-up, Therefore I Am was able to tour, play regular local shows and record various demos including "Farewell via Park".

They also played the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands Warped Tour stage in Boston, MA and cut a demo with esteemed producer Matt Squire (People In Planes, Panic!

[2] They entered the studio with Mike Poorman (Piebald, Tsunami Bomb, Paulson) that August to record the EP entitled "Escape".

[3] During 2008 they did multiple tours in support of Escape, played The Receiving End of Sirens' final shows with Envy on the Coast in Providence, RI[4] and Hit The Lights in Allston, MA,[5] then on August 20, 2008, they announced that they had signed with Equal Vision Records.

[6] The band finished recording their Equal Vision debut in early 2009 and announced they would be playing the entire Warped Tour via the Skullcandy Stage.

During the better part of the 5 years we spent in a van, the 5 of us bonded, fought, partied, smiled, argued, sang along together and learned to love each other.

We’ve toured with heroes, crossed oceans and did a lot of things we never thought we’d be able to do in our respective lifetimes, let alone our twenties.

We’d like to thank all of the friends we’ve made and all of you who supported us with your thoughts, floors, roofs, showers, meals, hometowns, shows, tastes and love.

-Travis Alexander and Therefore I Am Therefore I Am played their last show on November 20, 2010, at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island to a sold out crowd.
