This Is a Knife!",^[1]" quickly reaching five million views in under one year. Three of the members (Wellfare, Menzies, and Ellis) were previously in another metalcore band known as Atlanta Takes State.

Their drummer Tyler (known by his nickname, Lone America, and for playing drums in A Late Night Serenade) is the only member not from Australia, being from Carlisle, Pennsylvania in the United States. The other members met him online and he was later asked to join the band. Kris Sheehan joined in 2012, having played in Curse at 27 with Wellfare.
