Every member of this band was also a member of "Dead By Sunrise" along with [[Music/LinkinPark Chester Bennington]]. Ryan and Amir considered them essentially the same band, just playing different genres with a different singer. This band put out 1 album in 2009 before going on hiatus in 2012. After Chester's passing in 2017 it's unlikely they'll perform as this band again.

A band from Long Beach, California that started out as a side project of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck from Music/{{Orgy}}. Genre-wise, they're definitely ''something'' electronic: they started out closer to IndustrialMetal, but their most recent album is more {{Synthpop}}/dance oriented.
