[edit] History
The band formed in 1997, doing gigs in Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina,[2] and releasing a full-length (Moon Driven World) and two EPs over the course of the next three years. In 2000, Run Like This reached #4 on Billboard's Top Internet Albums chart.[3] Subsequently, the band toured with Vertical Horizon and Cowboy Mouth, and had a song, "Homecoming" placed in an episode of Dawson's Creek.[4] Though the band nearly broke up after the making of Run Like This, when founding guitarist Michael Helmly departed, in 2003 a full-length entitled Wrecked was released, produced by fellow South Carolingian Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish.[5]
