They had always talked about working on a side project. However both Aaron and Josh were always involved with other things. Aaron with "the confines", with whom Josh did some demo recording, and Josh with his career as an art student at the Art Institute of Chicago, and later as an English teacher in South Korea. Finally in January of 2009, both seemed to have no music projects on their agenda. They agreed to make a six song EP and to finish it by summer of 2009. Their first album "Warrior Style" was released on July 28 2009.
