The band was formed by Hanbury and Hall in Sydney, Australia in 2001. Both had been songwriters for youth groups and school ministries. After recruiting Thompson and Tenkate, they released their debut album Where I Belong in 2004. After their seond album Trafalgar Street was released in 2006, they supported Third Day on an Australian tour. The band relocated to Atlanta, Georgia in 2007, and recorded their third album Chorus of the Saints with Third Day's Mac Powell producing. Along with Third Day, the band have cited Switchfoot and Steven Curtis Chapman as influences.[2]

Hall left the band in 2009 to return to Australia and was replaced by Nevertheless guitarist A.J. Cheek.[3] This lineup released the album Blink in 2010.
