The Los Angeles-based quintet came together after vocalist/guitarist Jasan Radford and guitarist Levon Sultanian met through mutual friends. The duo went through a revolving door of members before solidifying their lineup with the addition of guitarist Brett Kane, bassist Cristian Hernandez and drummer Rob Basile. Labor-intensive dues-paying followed, as the band capped off ten-to-twelve hour workdays with all-night practice sessions and local gigs. Their electrifying live set and triple guitar attack became the talk of the L.A. club circuit, and the band quickly garnered a sizeable (and passionate) following.
"People really seem to connect to our songs on an emotional level," says Radford. "It sounds strange, but we¹ve done shows where people grab onto my leg and won't let go. You look down and there's this person that you don't know, but they're holding onto you because they feel emotionally connected to you because of your music. At first I thought it was a little weird, but it¹s a very cool thing. We definitely feed off each other."
