An frustrating pleasant at their senior high school skill show the next spring convinced these to stay together. “Tranquility,” their debut record, was documented for relatives and buddies within a few months of their initial gig. Much like all following produces, they utilized no overdubs or tone of voice doubling in the record.

After a two-year parting to serve full-time chapel missions, the people reunited in Oct 1998. Jackson Wright wedded three months later on, and family members priorities didn’t permit him to visit using the group. Drex Davis, a fellow Mesa-ite, was after that added as an alternative. The group continuing performing at Brigham Youthful University or college in Provo, UT, while focusing on their following album.
