The band formed in New York City in 2007 and signed to Monumentum Records once the members left the hardcore punk band Kill Your Idols, who disbanded at that time.
These would be either a short warm-up gig by a band playing a show later on in town, for example Kill Your Idols, Chuck Ragan or Jeff Caudill.
Most of the bands that play at Flywheel are local artists, though there are occasionally performances by more well-known acts such as Kill Your Idols, Thurston Moore, and Fugazi.
