From the then stale LA music scene, Moving Units burst on the scene in 2001. Formed by Blake Miller, Chris Hathwell, and Johan Boegli, the band quickly created a buzz with its high energy shows and post punk EP.

Their debut album Dangerous Dreams was released in 2004.

Continuing their grass-roots path, the band continued to tour, and released their second full length, Hexes for Exes in 2007.
