College friends Merrick Smith (lead vocals/guitar) and Jonah Wright (drums) first crossed paths in the summer of 2025 while working together in Carlsbad, California. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into a dream and the beginnings of something bigger. 

Not long after, they teamed up with lead guitarist Alex Rubenson, solidifying the band’s core sound. Throughout the rest of 2025 and into 2026, the trio spent countless hours writing, experimenting, and shaping their music as a band.
