They have released three demos (their first being in the genre of deathcore), a self-titled extended play, and seven full-length albums: Changes (2008), Relentless (2009), Back Burner (2011), Wasted Youth (2012), Heavy Hearts (2014), Six (2018) and For the Fallen Dreams (2023). Relentless charted at number 29 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers. Three other albums have charted within the top 10 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers along with two singles in the Billboard Top 50 Active Rock charts.

The group has had a complicated history of members. Many members of the band were friends of the band who would fill spots temporarily. Noticeable past members, based on length of participation and role, include Joe Ellis, Andrew Tkaczyk, Dylan Richter, Navid Naghdi, and Brandon Stastny. Jim Hocking is the only member of the original line-up that remains in the band.
