Early years and A Wish for Marilynne (2002–2006)

edit

I wanted a name to go with our style but I didn’t want people to hear the name and say “Oh they’re Christian they’re no good” so I came up with a somewhat neutral name that matched our style.[2]

– Ben Wade, A Wish for Marilynne bassist, on the band's name, 2004

In August 2002, Wade started playing guitar and singing lead vocals[1] in Christian rock/emo band A Wish for Marilynne.[nb 1][2] By September 2003, the band had written seven songs,[nb 2] three of which made it on to a demo tape, that was recorded four months prior.[nb 3][3] In an interview with the Ocala Star-Banner the band said that once they had ten songs they were going to start recording, and Wade said "it's (going to) be a lot better than the demo."[3] By this point, the group had performed a total of twelve shows.[3] The band started recording their album,[4] Poetic Chaos,[5] at Wade's The Wade Studio on May 10, 2004,[4] with a projected release date of June.[5]

In June, the band were booking dates for a summer tour with bands A Midnight and May and There for Tomorrow.[5] The band performed at Easy Street in Ocala, Florida on June 3 with bands Starting Over and A Day to Remember, and at The Masquerade in Ocala, Florida on June 20 with bands Inkblot (Cornerstone '04), Vindicated Youth, and Knox Overstreet.[5] In August, the band said on their website that the album would "be ready by the end of summer".[6] Song songs were uploaded to the band's PureVolume account.[6] In December, the band announced recording had finished and release was soon to follow.[7] In February 2005, the band announced that the album, Poetic Chaos, was to be released on March 18.[8] A release show was held Central Christian Church on the same day, featuring bands There For Tomorrow, A Day to Remember, and Starting Over.[9] Song previews were also made available on the band's MySpace account.[9] In early 2006, the band announced they were no longer together.[10]
