In 2009 the band performed with I Killed the Prom Queen and Earth Crisis and was featured on the TV show Pushover . In the same year, the debut album Above Us the Waves was released before it went on a national tour with Anime Fire . The album was recorded in late 2008 at Capitalsound Studio and Slaughterhouse Studios under the direction of Zack Ears and mixed at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland , California .

style
According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band plays a melodic form of metalcore. Allshallperish from killyourstereo.com summarized the music of Above Us the Waves as a mixture of The Acacia Strain , Himsa and Darkest Hour . You can hear the group saying that it has developed in recent years. There is little song material on the album that serves as a mere filler and the breakdowns that are otherwise often used are not that common in the songs.
