Initial releases featured Isaac Wood as vocalist and primary lyricist; following his departure in 2022, the band continued with a shifting vocal dynamic amongst remaining members.

The Orange Peel in Knoxville, Tennessee, opened in 2003 after extensive renovations to a former warehouse. The venue quickly gained prominence as a nationally recognized live music space, hosting a diverse range of artists across genres including rock, indie, country, and electronic music. Its relatively intimate capacity – approximately 950 standing or 650 seated – contributes to its reputation for energetic shows and close artist-audience interaction. The building itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its architectural significance within Knoxville’s industrial history.
