The Skyline Divide was originally formed as a University project under the name of "LUGOSI". As the year ended, so did Lugosi, but after some time apart, Ben, Brian and Heather wished to restart with a new name and a slightly different sound and direction along with a whole new lineup. Anthony Blevins (KILL JOHN CONNOR) joined on guitar and "THE SKYLINE DIVIDE" was created to fuse pop, powerpop, rock and post hardcore influences.
