Indianapolis-based Christian metalcore band Haste the Day formed in 2001. Guitarist Brennan Chaulk, his drummer brother Devin, and bassist Mike Murphy originally gigged as a three-piece, but six months after the group's inception they added longtime friend Jason Barnes as a second guitarist, and after a series of auditions named Jimmy Ryan their lead vocalist. After releasing the self-released That They May Know You in 2002, Haste the Day signed to the Tooth and Nail label's Solid State subsidiary to issue their breakthrough LP, Burning Bridges, in the spring of 2004. When Everything Falls appeared the following summer, but in late 2005, Ryan announced his pending marriage and quit the band. A few months later, the remaining members of Haste the Day added new vocalist Stephen Keech, formerly of New Day Awakening. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide |
