In the fall of 2006, This Endearing (Formerly known as Gate City), decided to part ways. Clayton Graves, Chris Robinson, and Kyle Roberts pursued their musical interests with Blood and Ink records band All In, Joseph McQueen began recording bands full time, and Josh Gilbert joined and toured extensively with the band As I Lay Dying.
Reconvening in the spring of 2008, Joseph, Josh, and Clayton of This Endearing, along with Marko Gorupic of Birmingham-based local bands Legion and My Reply, and former Maylene and the Sons of Disaster drummer, Lee Turner, teamed up and began writing for a new musical endeavor officially titled, Year One. Look out for updates and new songs from their upcoming 4 song demo.
