Group members Matt Langston and Caleb Satterfield first played together in a church praise and worship group from Greenville, South Carolina. After adding drummer Johnathan Stephens, the band began by playing shows in their hometown when they were in high school. Although often grouped under the emo umbrella, the group has sought to infuse the music with hope rather than maintain the themes of sadness and grief common to this music. The group has achieved much success recently, releasing their second album, Galactic Conquest, in 2007.
