How did the band form?
Daniel: I personally believe it was born January of 2011, but we have been a band long before that. And the reason that I say this is because we have been trying to find our sound, and i still don't think we've found it. We  have been playing and writing all throughout high school and I feel like we have come a long way and that we've been playing are little hearts out to the point that I can finally say that yes we are a band now.

Louis: Well I remember back in high school, 10th grade to be exact we used to jam out at Alex’s house. At the time it was Daniel, Alex, and our friend Joe, who were part of the group. I used to play guitar at that time but by the end of our Junior year I left the band. On occasion, Daniel and I  would rock out during our free time along with some other friends. About three years later after I graduated I saw Daniel's post of facebook that [NOVA] was looking for a bassist, and BAMB right away I send him a text saying that I was down for the gig. I started practicing the songs that they had and I really don’t know how it happen but a few months later we were playing shows together and rocking out.
