Biography
Band members Alex DeLeon and Cash Colligan first began playing together in high school, and recorded demos as a duo which they put up on their MySpace page. After putting together the full band, they played their first show at Rock n' Java in Las Vegas, and signed to local label Olympus Records in January 2006; however, they released no material on Olympus. They sent a demo to Spencer Smith of Panic at the Disco, who helped them sign to Decaydance Records in May 2007. Shortly after this, the band's members graduated from high school. Blender named them #75 on their Top 100 Hot Report in September 2007, before they had actually released any official material. The group toured nationally in 2007 and 2008 with Hellogoodbye, The Higher, YouInSeries, We the Kings, Metro Station, Cobra Starship, and others. In February 2008, their touring van flipped over in Wisconsin, but none of the bandmembers were seriously injured, and they only missed one tour date. In March 2008 the band played SXSW. Their Matt Squire-produced debut album, Whisper War, was released on April 29, 2008. As of February 15, 2008, the lead single from the album, "I'll Run", had over 300,000 hits on the band's MySpace page.
