The band was formed in 2003 when its members were still in high school, and their initial practice sessions started at drummer Matt Greiner's egg house on his family's farmland. The boys performed several local shows in Lancaster, following which they recorded their debut EP with label CI Records, titled Looks Fragile After All in 2004.  Their then vocalist Jon Hershey left them in the same year, and they soon brought in Josh McManness as lead singer. They then signed with Solid Records and released their debut full-length album, Thrill Seekers by November 2005. Two years later, the band was on its way to releasing second album Messengers that marked Luhr as their yet again new lead vocalist while the album served as a breakthrough for the band. As of May 2011, they have sold more than a hundred thousand copies.
