History


Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller formed the band in 1998, originally named Hero. They changed it to theStart because "Hero" was already being used by another band.[3] Their starting lineup included bassist Jeff Jaeger, drummer Scott Ellis (formerly of Mellowdrone and She Wants Revenge), and guitarist Mike Smith.[1] Their debut album, Shakedown!, was released in 2001 on Geffen Records.[1][3][2]

Following a period of touring, they discovered that their record label was closing. The band decided to fund their next EP themselves, releasing The 1234 in April 2002[1][3] and selling it at their shows.[3] Shortly thereafter, they announced the departure of Scott Ellis.[1] While spending the summer touring with Scarling., they found a distributor in Small Stone Records for a self-titled EP.[1]

Jaeger left the group some time after Ellis did. Over the next year, the group found replacements, bringing in Erick Sanger and Billy Brimblecon Jr.[1] With their new lineup, the group was signed to Nitro Records in October 2003,[1] which re-released their self-titled EP as Death Via Satellite.[3][2] Over the next year they recorded a new album, and Initiation was released on August 24, 2004.[1][2]

Brimblecon left the group shortly after the release of Initiation.[1] The group had a number of interim drummers, including Frank Zummo,[1] before Chelsea Davis was selected as a permanent replacement. Later, in 2006, Sanger was let go from the group, replaced by Lance Webber.[citation needed]

The group changed labels in 2007, moving from Nitro to their current label, Metropolis Records.[3] Later that year, they released Ciao, Baby.[3]

In 2017, the band released a 7-inch single for "Yvonne DeCarlo" and "Magic Number".
