Their lineup currently consists of JT Woodruff (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Micah Carli (lead guitar, vocals), Matt Ridenour (bass guitar, backing vocals), Mark McMillon (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and Chris Popadak as the band's touring/session drummer following the June 2014 departure of original drummer Eron Bucciarelli.

The band found success with both of their first two albums, their 2004 release, The Silence in Black and White, and their 2006 album, If Only You Were Lonely, both achieving Gold certification. Their second album additionally peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard's Independent Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 charts. They are also well known for their 2006 single "Saying Sorry", which reached Gold status and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. The band's third album, Fragile Future, was released on August 5, 2008, surprisingly through Victory Records again, after a lengthy legal battle between the two parties.
