Formed in Vancouver, British Columbia after Browning and Bishops moved there from Sudbury, Ontario, the band released its debut album in 2003.[2] The album was popular on Canadian campus radio where it reached No. 1 across Canada (#56 in the USA CMJ Chart), and the band toured across Canada, the United States and Europe to support the album.
