Casey was living in Camarillo, CA and had been writing songs by himself, but sending them all to Adi for his input. Cole was instantly inspired after hearing the instrumental tracks, and immediately put pen to paper. By Halloween they had demo tracks for an entire EP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut in November of 2020, Cole had bottomed out with alcohol. He felt a darkness enveloping everything around him and he knew that the party was officially over.
