Sing It Loud's peppy mix of emo and alternative pop/rock is created by Pat Brown, Nate Flynn, Ben Peterson, Kieren Smith, and Chris Lee. The Minneapolis natives built an audience throughout the mid-2000s on the strength of their touring, and Sing It Loud's work ethic soon won them an offer from Epitaph Records. After joining the label's roster, the band set aside time to record a self-titled EP alongside Motion City Soundtrack's Josh Cain.
