Beginnings and debut album (2009-2010)
The band enjoyed musical growth while playing the local SoCal rock circuit at venues such as Chain Reaction, King King, SUTRA, OC Tavern and Detroit Bar, supporting the release of their independent self-titled debut album. They slowly built a following, which was greatly accelerated by the band's decision to offer the debut album as a free download on their website. After being accepted into the Pandora Genome Project in late 2010, the band was noticed by local DJ Drew Thorne, who began to spin the band's self-titled album on OCRockRadio.
