After adding drummer Johnathan Stephens, the band began by playing shows in their hometown when they were in high school.

Their single "More Than A Revolution" reached the Top 5 in ChristianRock.Net's weekly Top 30, and #28 in their annual Top 100, as well as topping the Radio & Records Christian Rock charts.After an appearance on The Logan Show on November 25, 2006, the group announced plans to tour the US in the early months of 2007.[15][16] Their second album for Flicker, Galactic Conquest, was released on September 4, 2007.
The group has garnered comparisons to other Christian pop punk groups such as Relient K and Stellar kart. They make frequent references to recent popular culture and both their music and lyrics have stylistic similarities to third-wave emo popular in the 2000s, but the group has sought to infuse the music with hope rather than maintain the themes of sadness and grief common to this music Lead singer Matt Langston has said, "You get tired of being yelled at, hearing the same parallels drawn in every song... Knives. Night. Pain. Winter. We have been put here to enjoy the blessings in life, not cry about the curse of our self-inflicted pain. We want to push people past their feelings, passions, and experiences...past their circumstances to see the big picture of God's creation. We want people to feel what He has done for us and wear a smile when they leave our concerts."
