Skip the Foreplay was a trancecore band from Montreal which rose to prominence by covering the song Champagne Showers by LMFAO, getting a contract and releasing an on Epitaph Records and featuring reality TV star Mathieu Maltais on guitar. In addition to the habitual vocals, guitars, bass and drums of metalcore, the band featured a DJ, Jean-Michael Aumais, and their music adds club beats, auto-tuned vocals and dubstep to the elements of metalcore. They changed their name to Now and on Earth in 2014.

History
The band started in 2010 when Charles Pilon put an ad on the internet looking for musicians. That's how he met Maltais and the others. They started composing songs and Maltais, having good contacts in the entertainment industry after being a candidate during season 5 of reality TV show Occupation Double in 2008, got the band to make a record for cheap. They recorded and autoproduced "Nightlife" themselves and presented it to many record labels

They got a lot of attention for their cover of Champagne Showers by LMFAO, for which they made a video that got more than one million views on Youtube. They then got in contact with Obey the Brave and Despised Icon singer Alex Erian, who accepted to make a guest appearance on the song "This City We're Taking Over", became their manager and helped them get a contract with Epitaph Records only six months after they started playing together.

At first, Champagne Showers was not on Nightlife but Epitaph asked for it to be included, so the band added it to the setlist. Skip the Foreplay made many tours in Canada, U.S.A. and Japan, opening for Falling in Reverse and many other Epitaph bands and playing the Vans Warped Tour in 2012.
