History
Formation and The Love You Let Too Close (2016-2018)
Thousand Below was quietly formed in 2016 by vocalist James Deberg, who continued to write music after parting ways with his previous band Outlands. Josh Thomas, guitarist and friend of Deberg, showed him some songs he was working on at the time and the two decided to collaborate.[2] After recruiting other friends and musicians in the area - Josh Billimoria on bass, Devin Chance on guitar, and Garrett Halvax on drums - the band's initial lineup fell into place and they hit the studio to begin recording what would be their debut album, The Love You Let Too Close (2017). After recording some songs, the band began approaching labels behind the scenes, catching the interest of Rise Records. After Rise offered them a deal, the band finished the album and publicly debuted in January 2017 with their first single and music video titled "Tradition"[3][4][5] off of The Love You Let Too Close. The second single "Sinking Me" was released with a music video on June 12th, 2017.[6] The album was released worldwide on October 6th, 2017,[7] charting on the Billboard Independent Albums Chart.[8] The band began touring consistently in North America and Europe from 2017 through 2018 with bands such as The Devil Wears Prada[9][10], Dance Gavin Dance, Veil of Maya[9][10], Blessthefall[11][12] and Being As An Ocean.[13] A music video for a song on the album called "Vein" was released on August 29th, 2018.[14][15] Chance and Halvax decided to part ways with the band in December 2018.
Lineup changes and Gone In Your Wake (2019)
Deberg, Thomas, and Billimoria hit the studio in January 2019 to begin recording their sophomore album, Gone In Your Wake (2019). Without a drummer at the time, they contacted their friend Max Santoro, former drummer of Vesta Collide, to work on the drums for the album and fill in on upcoming tours. The band played Swanfest[16] on March 30th, 2019, and embarked on The Artificial Selection Tour with Dance Gavin Dance, Don Broco, Hail The Sun, and Covet in April and May.[17][18] In the summer of 2019, the band went on tour with Miss May I,[19][20][21][22] The Word Alive and Afterlife, and brought on Santoro as their new full-time drummer. The first single off of Gone In Your Wake, titled "Chemical", was released on July 11th, 2019, along with a music video.[23][24] "Chemical" premiered on SiriusXM Octane,[23] where it remained in rotation for several weeks. In September and October of 2019, Thousand Below toured the United States and Canada with Of Mice & Men,[25][26][27] For The Fallen Dreams, and Bloodbather. Gone In Your Wake was officially released worldwide on October 11th, 2019[28][29][30] and peaked at #32 on Billboard Independent Albums Chart.[31]
Touring in 2020 and Let Go Of Your Love EP (2020)
The band went on tour in North America once again in February and March 2020 with Bad Omens,[32][33] Oh, Sleeper, and Bloodline, however the tour was postponed indefinitely on March 13th due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All other tours and festivals the band had planned for the year were also postponed or cancelled, including a European tour with The Plot In You, and the annual Impericon Festival with As I Lay Dying. During their time in quarantine due to the pandemic, the band decided to write and record an acoustic EP titled Let Go Of Your Love.[34][35] The EP consists of 4 reworked versions of songs from Gone In Your Wake, as well as an original song that shares the title of the EP.[34] Let Go Of Your Love was released worldwide on August 21st, 2020.
