History
Founded in 2015, they released their debut EP Unrequited, Unrefuted, and Undeniably - I'm Alone[7] before releasing their debut album And Everything Was Beautiful in 2016.[8] Undercover Scumbag was released in 2018 with an entirely different lineup that would later go on to release Irrational Pull in 2020 and Narrative in 2022.[9] In 2024, they released their fourth album, People Watching, which was noted for moving more towards metalcore and away from their previous hardcore style.[4]
In March 2025, the band announced that bassist Lukas Booker had died unexpectedly.[10] However, they stated that they would still continue with their plans to tour alongside Silent Planet and Invent Animate.[11]
