[edit] Biography
The band was formed before the release of the movie of the same name, although two years after the release of the book. [5] In 2005, they released a demo entitled "Patterns of a Horizon." Their first full length album was released on August 22, 2006, entitled "Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord," which featured guest vocals from Cole Wallace of Gwen Stacy. The album mixed metalcore with elements of post-hardcore. Plagues, which was released on August 21, 2007 and featured Craig Owens of Chiodos, still kept the metalcore sound. A demo song called "HTML Rulez d00d" was placed on MySpace on July 1, 2007, and the song in its entirety was released as the third track on the album. On July 11, AbsolutePunk.net began to stream their song "Don't Dink and Drance." In a recent interview with East Coast Romper, the band states their influences are Underoath and Still Remains. Mike Hranica, the band's vocalist, also manages a clothing company called SHiPSHAPE Clothing with which he sponsors and endorses bands. Some of Shipshape's sale money goes to charities such as Skate 4 Cancer, etc.
