The band formed in Salt Lake City intending to be an indie rock band but, according frontman Jon Parkin, that "lasted about half a practice".

The original lineup consisted of Casey Hansen on drums, Parkin on bass, and Michael Mason and Luke Sorenson on guitars. With this lineup they played their first two shows with different vocalists – first with Dustin Dransfield and then with Dreu Hudson. After their departure, Parkin switched to lead vocals, and bass player Chris Clement was added. With this lineup, the band recorded their debut EP East in 2004, which was distributed by Exigent Records.
