Senses Fail consisted of vocalist Buddy Nielsen, guitarists Dave Miller and Garret Zablocki, bassist Mike Glita, and
drummer Dan Trapp. Forming in 2002, SF's slick amalgam of post-hardcore chuggery and emo heartbreak was solidly in line with
the sound of other New Jersey groups like Saves the Day. Senses Fail quickly issued a debut EP through Boston indie ECA, and
began to play out frequently while spreading the word with a thriving Internet presence. Drive-Thru Records took notice, and
signed the group in late 2002. A revamped version of the From the Depths of Dreams EP appeared in April 2003; it featured
better mixing, one new song, and an acoustic version of "Ground Folds." A tour with the Used wrapped up the year in a successful
fashion.
