Bleed Theory and Divest Bleed Theory began as a studio project, more or less, by Dave Parker,
Nate Kelley and Kurt Brown in the fall of 1997. Nate asked Morgan Evans to come down and collaborate on one of the tunes being worked on.
Josh Eppard also joined around this time on drums. The band was a side project for Nate, Morgan and Josh, who were involved in
Shabutie,
Fuse, and
3 (band), respectively. Soon, Josh left to take Nate's place in
Shabutie (later to become
Coheed and Cambria) and Zac Shaw, a long time friend of Nate and Morgan took his place. The band proceeded until 2001 when Nate left and was replaced by Mike McCoy on bass. The band then evolved into Divest. After guitarist Dave Parker joined Coheed and Cambria as touring keyboardist Divest also went on hiatus until briefly reforming with three original members Morgan Evans (vocals), Kurt Brown (guitar) and Nate Kelley (bass).

Joe Maggio,
Sean-Paul Pillsworth, and

Counterfeit Disaster. After a few months the project had to be put on hold indefinitely. In winter of 2005 the project was renewed, adding
Dave Daw and
Dave Bodie to help bring a more live sound to what was initially intended to be a fully sequenced project. Josh Eppard formally of Coheed and Cambria has now since joined on drums.
