Formation and beginnings

Double Experience's roots reach back into the late 2011 when guitarist Brock Tinsley and vocalist Ian Nichols began writing and performing together under the name "Colfax".

In 2014, the name "Double Experience" was adopted by members Nichols, Tinsley, drummer Kenny Saunders and bassist Tim Kealey. While explaining the name change in an interview, the band claimed there were "as many legal implications appearing as there were bands with the name 'Colfax'."

721835 (2014–2015)

In January 2014, Double Experience released the debut single, "Who the Hell?", consisting of footage the band had shot on their previous tours as Colfax. During this time, Double Experience released their music exclusively on trading cards to encourage people physically interacting with the band.

In May 2014, Double Experience released advance physical copies of the album, complete with four additional tracks, as a tour exclusive.

An animated video for the album's second single, "Here's Y" was released on June 17.

721835 was released on August 1, 2014. In the same month, the band continued returned to the United Kingdom, eventually meeting and performing with Dafydd Cartwright. Tinsley stated that the tour was "not only the best of our three [tours] over here, but one of the best of our young careers so far." Cartwright would continue to drum for Double Experience.

Unsaved Progress (2015–2016)

In the months that followed, Double Experience continued to tour Canada and the UK in support of 721835.

The band returned to Warrior Sound studios in the fall of 2015. By this time, the band had performed over 500 shows across 16 countries.

On February 18, 2016, Double Experience debuted the album's first single, "So Fine".

On February 1, 2017, Double Experience released their music video for "Godzilla".
