Formed by brothers Trevor and Matt Wentworth when Trevor was only 11, the band signed with Epitaph a few years later and rapidly began to build their profile, touring alongside Saosin, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Attack Attack, I See Stars, From First to Last and Four Year Strong among others. Their youth created a huge internet buzz, but when fans came out to see the band they were blown away by the power of the music and the maturity of the writing.
