Ryan Hunter and Sal Bossio began talks of starting a band together after 3 Minute Warning broke up.

The band recorded the Writ in Water Demo and the acoustic sampler which featured the song "Envy on the Coastline", written about Ryan's jealousy for Brand New's success.

Afterwards the band went through a period when their name was New Atlantic, but then changed their name to Envy on the Coast and Dan joined on drums after Alex went to college. The band then recorded with producer Brian Russell who introduced the band to Will Noon of Straylight Run. Noon later became their manager. Since then the band has released the Envy on the Coast EP and Lucy Gray and have toured in the United States, England, Japan, and Australia with some of the most successful bands in the indie world.
