'Cinder' formed in 1999 with singer Roger Young, and lead guitarist Kenny Craig, playing bars and clubs around the Southern Florida coastline area and writing songs for an album that would be called Soapy Tuna. It was at this time they picked up bassist Pat McGuire, and drummer Brian Colbert, and changed their name to Jesus Gun. In this form they recorded another album, which was available only at shows. In 2001 they signed a record deal with Geffen Records and an album Break Your Silence was recorded. The name was changed again, this time to Cinder, under pressure from the record company, for legal reasons. Cinder began touring with such heavyweights as Creed and Sevendust, gaining a loyal following across America. Unfortunately, before the release date Geffen Records dropped Cinder, and the album never was released. The single from that album Soul Creation was released and received much airtime on both the radio and on MTV. This single helped keep the band's dreams alive as they struggled with their record company's contract. It took two more years for Cinder to be released from their contract with Gaffen Records expired, and two more years after that before they were picked up by Rock Ridge Records.

In this time of limbo bassist decided to leave the band, he was soon replaced with their current bassist, Steve Reich. With the new lineup and the new record company Cinder was ready to get back to recording. Their second album, titled House Full Of No Trust, was released on August 8, 2006, amid a local Florida tour.
