Although Forever the Sickest Kids have been around less than a year, their roots date back to the members' childhood. Marc Stewart and Kyle Burns are stepbrothers and shared musical discoveries early on. Around the same time, Caleb Turman and Austin Bello became friends and started writing songs. Years later, Stewart met Kent Garrison in high school. Garrison went to college and hooked up with Jonathan Cook and Bello. For a while, Turman and Bello played together in the Dallas band Ben Bradley, and everyone else from Forever the Sickest Kids played with The Flipside. But in late 2006, both of those groups reached a creative standstill, and the Sickest Kids were born. Five days after their official formation, Jonathan Cook was flipping through the Pure Volume web site when, with a click of his mouse, he inadvertently spent $350 the band didn't have on a front page song placement. Worse still, Forever the Sickest Kids didn't have any songs written yet. Over the next two days, the band members got together and banged out a track called "Hey Brittany" and recorded it with their friend/producer Jeff Rockwell.
