Dim: We all grew up listening to early 2000’s pop-punk music (early Epitaph, Fueled By Ramen,
Drive-Thru Records’ bands: New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, Millencolin, The Starting Line). All of us
were in a few different local bands in our teen years when we all started pursuing our instruments of
choice. We also got to share the local stages with each other's past bands. Ben began playing drums
around the age of 14, Nick picked up the guitar around the same age, Charlie first started getting
into music around 9 years old and Matt was around the same age as well. The early pop-punk days
are what triggered us all to really want to be in a band. We all have so many different influences
now, but those years are what put us into this current path we are pursuing.
