In 2006, Alamance was discovered when Mike Rodriguez(Smack In The Face Records) came across the band while he was scouting talent for Vans Warped Tour. He recruited them to play the East Coast Indie Stage for the tour, and later signed them to his newest acquisition Smack In The Face Records. They recorded Drowning Between Life And Lies and released it on the label in June 2006. The record was produced by Rob Freeman (writer, vocals and guitar in Hidden In Plain View).
