Biography

Fear Before (2008-2009)

On September 9, 2008, Fear Before upcoming first studio album in stores October 28, 2008 through Equal Vision Records.

In early 2009, Zach Hutchings left the band to join Utah group I Am the Ocean. Adam has stated that Zach left due to some personal and creative tensions, though Zach and the band remain good friends. The band decided to remain a four piece. After Binks' departure, the band supported Alesana on a package tour that spring. In the summer, Fear Before toured Australia for the first time, where their friend Trent Jacobi fell through the roof of a house and was hospitalized. In response to this event, Fear Before posted their discography on Bandcamp.com to raise money to cover hospital bills. Tour and labelmates Circa Survive also released a limited edition 7" featuring b-sides from On Letting Go to raise money for Trent.

After returning from Australia they embarked on what would be their last two headlining tours. The first was in the United States with Oceana and Memphis May Fire as support. The second, titled "The Hunt for Shred October", was across Canada with Baptized in Blood, Trophy Scars and Black Moor from August to September. The band planned to not tour in 2010 and instead stay home and continue work on their second full-length. The band's last show before their hiatus began was on December 4, 2009 at the Crabtree Brewing Company in Greeley, Colorado.
