The band was at various times a quartet[1] and a quintet.[2] The band's name was stylized as /Passenger. (with a slash at the beginning and a dot at the end).

The /Passenger. debut album Wicked Man's Rest was released in 2007 on Chalkmark.[3] All 11 tracks of the album were co-written by Phillips and Rosenberg. Soon after the release of the album, Andrew Philips left the band. The band broke up in October 2009.[1]
