Shortly After The Return Of Augustine Bryan Aldrich Had Joined The Band To Play None Other Than Keyboard. The 5-Some Set Out To Record A Full Length CD In The Summer Of 2007 But Ran Into Many Bumps In The Road. Bassists Marcus VanKirk Had Decided To Leave The Band To Pursue His Career With Chiodos Side-Project Cinematic Sunrise. Marcus' Spot Was Temporarily Filled By Bryan Beeler Also Of Cinematic Sunrise And Then Later Permanently Replaced By Guitarist Mike Reed Who's Been In His Share Of Local Michigan Bands.
