Established in the summer of 2005 by brothers Munde and Berni, I Not Dance was originally conceived as a diversion from their mathcore group Lebrisk. They found a dedicated companion in Martin, got the first songs done and captured them on their CD-R "you make us nervous both ways". The music turned out reminiscent to screamo from the 90s. Lebrisk broke up just a few months later and what was initially thought to be just for fun, started to take a turn to the more serious. Martin didn't have enough time to commit to the band, but shortly thereafter Benny emerged from a neighboring rehearsal room to complete the trio. Within the following months they tried - probably as every band does - to develop their own sound, so they played a few shows in their area and made another demo CD. Around that time they crossed paths with the Swiss screamo band Mr. Willis of Ohio and shared the stage with them as they toured around Europe together. The idea for a split came natural and was eventually released on From A Strangers Hands Records in 2007. In early 2008 they decided to tackle their first LP. Die Tonmeisterei in Oldenburg, Germany, was chosen to be its place of birth and within a week in July a bunch of songs were created. Read more on Last.fm.
