Single File

Single File are Joe (bass/guitar), Sloan (vocals/guitar/bass), and Chris (drums), who have been writing music together since high school, mainly playing jazz until forming a punk-pop band. The Denver trio self-recorded and released three EPs while going on a handful of national tours before recording their debut full-length in early 2006 with producer Ed Rose (Motion City Soundtrack, the Get Up Kids). Single File secured a spot on the Vans Warped Tour in summer 2006 with the LP release to follow. The album was tentatively titled Benson Shady Grove on the band's website and a release date for late 2006 was posted, but it remained unreleased for over a year while the band toured. In July 2007, the band unleashed a fourth EP, No More Sadface, as an iTunes exclusive instead.
