History
Abandin Theory is a four piece rock band that since 1998, has continually incorporated various styles of music, such as indie and various forms of rock to create their own niche in the local underground music scene. The band was formed not so surprisingly in their high school music class by Andre, Gary, and Nick. This unofficial inception led to casual performances in their school's coffee shop. They soon realized after several performances that they should take their unfocused energy and refine it by creating music together. Gary had just left his previous band and the three, along with two other close friends began as 7ate9.

7ate9 played infrequently at local Brampton bars with shows mainly comprised of covers and few original works. Eventually problems within the band developed and obstructed 7ate9's hope of creating original music and so shortly after these problems were realized, 7ate9 disbanded. Andre, Gary, and Nick continued to be friends and several years later went out to see a local band perform at a bar. They were inspired. Seeing the energy of the live show brought back memories of their previous endeavor as 7ate9 and immediately the three started writing songs again.

Initially, the idea of an EP would have seemed ludicrous but the quality of the songs that were created warranted more attention than just a friends kegger but without a bassist the band could not take this step from basement band to released artists. A long and arduous auditioning process ensued but proved to be futile. It soon became apparent that auditioning would not reap any worthy bass players but practices went on despite their disillusionment. Matt, Nick's brother, though not in the band, decided to come out and jam at one of said practices for fun and that was when the three realized that the obvious solution to their bassist problem was close at hand all along. Abandon Theory was formed.
