History[edit]

The band formed in 2014 with vocalist Richard Haro and guitarist Garrett Gutierrez in San Francisco.[3] The two of them later found drummer Tony Rangel. The three continued looking for a bassist, until Gutierrez contacted his cousin, Isaac Guerrera, who became the band's bassist.[3] The band has been compared to bands such as Sleeping Giant,[6] Comeback Kid,[6] Dynasty,[2] Terror[6][2] and xLooking Forwardx.[2] The band released their debut EP, Trials, in 2015 through Thumper Punk Records.[1] The band later signed to OnTheAttack Records and released their second EP, Persevere.[4][5][7] In March 2017, the band released a single for their upcoming album Victory, titled "Once to Die".[8] The band's debut album, Victory, was released through OnTheAttack in 2017.[8][3]
