Biography
Following the break-up of Dave Journeaux and Mike Ieradi's previous band, A Legend Falls, the two formed Today I Caught the Plague. Slowly the group fleshed out their lineup, including members from Bill Furious and Among Ashes. The group's lineup was complete with the addition of Steve Rennie from Die Nameless.

After numerous pre-production sessions the band finally entered Addictive Sound Studios with producer and good friend Dean Hadji. After a few weeks of recording the band finished their debut EP, Ms. Mary Mallon.

Following the recording of Ms. Mary Mallon, bassist Matt Belanger left the band. With an EP ready to be released and a group of musicians eager to tour, the band recruited Eric Stone and Matt Young, formerly of There Were Thousands. The band's lineup was now complete.

Ms. Mary Mallon was released on July 4th, 2008. It has recieved very positive reviews. The band has completed 2 full scale tours to date, and are currently on their third along with Syracuse Me.
