History

Origins and This Aggression Will Not Stand: 2004-2005

The band formed in 2004 in Saskatoon, when Dahl, Hicks and Volk started writing songs that would become part of their debut album, This Aggression Will Not Stand. The album was recorded in Saskatoon in 2005, and released by U.S. independent record label Versailles Records. The album title is a reference to the movie The Big Lebowski. The single 'Alive in Texas' from the album was a surprise radio success in Saskatoon, after an intern at the local rock station played it to a DJ and it was subsequently added to heavy rotation.

The band house and Orange City: 2006-2009

Dahl, Hicks and Volk moved into a house in Saskatoon together in 2006, and started writing songs for their second album, Orange City. The album was again released by Versailles Records and spawned two regional radio successes in "Crooked Mic Stand" and "Sun/Fire." Around this time, the band started touring heavily throughout Western Canada.
