The band 1985 formed in Pittsburgh in 2003 around Matthew Holmes on vocals and guitar and Chris Regan on bass. They released their debut album 'Overcome' in 2007, which included the song 'Breaking Free.'

In 2009 they put out 'New Empire, Vol. 1' followed by 'New Empire, Vol. 2' in 2011. Their drummer changed in 2012 when Adam Trombetta left and Christopher Holden joined. Jake Luhrs also played guitar for the band.
