Dallas, Texas's Forever the Sickest Kids got an unexpected break early on when, only a few days after forming and with zero songs to their name, lead singer Jonathan Cook inadvertently spent several hundred dollars for front page song placement on the popular music website PureVolume, forcing the band to hurriedly pound out a track so as not to waste the money they didn't even have. The local bands Ben Bradley and The Flipside had stalled out near the end of 2006, and various members from each group had only just formed Forever the Sickest Kids together, but they took on the challenge and quickly got to work. The emo-power-pop-rock song "Hey Brittney" resulted in just two days time and wound up garnering considerable attention in the very green band, which was rounded out by Austin Bello (bass, vocals), Caleb Turman (guitar/vocals), Kent Garrison (keyboards), and stepbrothers Kyle Burns (drums) and Marc Stewart (guitar).
