[edit] History
The band released its first album, "A Tragedy In Progress" in May of 2003 on Indianola Records. Following the success of this release, they played shows with bands such as Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Norma Jean, Haste The Day, Atreyu and It Dies Today.
After some member changes, the band wrote and recorded their second release on Indianola, an EP entitled "Living In The Moment". Shortly after the release of the EP, frontman Steve Taylor left the band and they picked up new frontman Brandon Mullins (formerly the vocalist for the band Embraced[1]). They toured the US several times and then proceeded to write their second full length release, Collapse. Following the release of this album, the band went back on the road full time and in July of 2007, the band was picked up by Victory Records.
Across Five Aprils released their Victory Records debut album, Life Underwater, on February 19, 2008. The album was recorded by producer Matt Goldman from Glow In The Dark Studios in Atlanta, Georgia[2].
