La banda se formó en Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, en octubre de 2004 por el guitarrista Shawn Milke, el guitarrista Patrick Thompson, el vocalista Dennis Lee, y el bajista Steven Tomany; Alesana rápidamente escaló en la escena post hardcore de Raleigh. El 2005 firmo con el sello Tragic Hero Records. En mayo de 2005, Alesana comenzó a trabajar en su primer EP. El disco Try This With Your Eyes Closed (Intenta esto con tus ojos cerrados) fue lanzado a mediados de junio de 2005.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Despite getting horrible reviews, I still love this band, album, and song. I was bored so I tabbed this out and I think it sounds kind of good acoustic. It's even more fun when you scream ^_^ Enjoy.
