Lead singer Jeff Turner and guitarist Jarrett Brandt had been playing together for a number of years but due to a lack of enthusiasm they found it difficult to find a quality rhythm section. Eric Svilpis and Spencer Kathrens played together in another local band at the time when they were introduced to Jeff and Jarrett and they all started jamming together during downtime. Spencer and Eric volunteered their studio, time and skills in the hopes that it would help Jeff and Jarrett on the way to finding a drummer and bassist who suited the roles better than anyone previous. Eventually they decided however that they suited the roles and it soon became a full time thing. The newly formed band worked hard daily writing new material, coming up with music that best represented the four of them and after a couple months started playing shows.

Long term friend Sean Hamilton, who had also drummed with Spencer and Eric in their previous band, had expressed an interest in playing drums again which was fitting, as eventually Spencer was part of another band pursuing the same goals as Go For The Eyes. This lead to the unfortunate loss of Spencer as a bandmate but the group was excited to have still retained his friendship.

Now with their new drummer, Go For The Eyes is on the warpath to recording their first full length album beginning with recording at a variety of studios starting in May.
