Originating like a part project for users of Chiodos, punk-pop/emo group Cinematic Sunrise had been founded by Craig Owens (vocals) and Bradley Bell (keyboards) as an outlet for any brighter, more cheerful appear that wouldn’t match the music idiom of their additional group. Owens in the beginning recruited close friends from his indigenous Michigan to take part in the group, including guitarist Bryan Beeler, but several lineup changes remaining Beeler the just remaining person in the initial Detroit-area contingent. Cinematic Sunrise had been eventually curved out by Marcus Vankirk (bass) and Dave Shapiro (drums), as well as the group released its 1st EP, A Color Storybook and Long Playing Record, in 2008.
