Troy grew up in the small Albertan town of Bawlf. Kevin grew up in the small Albertan town of Vauxhaull. They both ended up moving the the small Albertan city of Camrose and getting a job at the same place. After drinking large amounts of beer and listening to lots of music, they decided to write music. That's about it. Influences range from collective soul and the beatles, to metallica, machine head, trivium and a plethora of others.
