After two years of being a solo artist, Mad Glory front-man Matthew Hipps reached out to now lead guitarist John Norman looking for a writing partner. After a few sessions together, the two had more interest in the same genre and style, and a match had been lit. After small releases and writing sessions, the two began to move on and branch out. Months later at a free-play session, Matthew Hipps introduced John Norman to 13 year drummer Kevin Turner. The two clicked instantly. With Kevin's complex drum technique, John's deep blues guitar, and Hipps' voice, the indie/blues of Mad Glory awakened.
