Fort Worth-based positive metalcore act Oh, Sleeper are an outgrowth of the short-lived Texas Christian emo band Terminal, who split up shortly following the release of their sole album in 2005. Three members of Terminal -- guitarist James Erwin, bassist Lucas Starr (who also briefly played in a similar alternative Christian act, As Cities Burn, prior to that band's dissolution), and drummer Ryan Conley -- regrouped with a pair of local Fort Worth musicians, singer Micah Kinard and guitarist Shane Blay (formerly of both Evelynn and North Carolina straight-edge act Between the Buried and Me) to form Oh, Sleeper in the spring of 2006. Oh, Sleeper's debut EP, The Armored March, was released by 1x1 Music in November of that year.
