ERRA formed in 2009 by high school friends Alex Ballew, Jesse Cash, Adam Hicks, Ga
rrison Lee and Alan Rigdon in the southern city of Birmingham, Alabama. The band wrote and self-released two EP's, self-titled in 2009 and Andromeda in 2010. This gained the attention of Tragic Hero Records, signing them in 2011. Later that year, the band released their first studio album Impulse and toured with bands Born of Osiris and Upon a Burning Body.
In 2012, Adam Hicks left the band to pursue other career options and the band began writing their second studio album with Cash tracking both guitar and bass for the album. Augment was released and gained the band a lot more attention from touring bands and they began touring more extensively.
