Single File was a band from Westminster, Colorado / Cleveland, Ohio. After achieving local success, the band was signed to Reprise Records in 2006.
History
In early 2006 Single File recorded their debut full-length, which was tentatively titled Benson Shady Grove, with producer Ed Rose (who has worked with such bands as Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids, Senses Fail, Emery, Reggie and the Full Effect, The Spill Canvas, and The New Amsterdams). However, instead of releasing the full-length, the band put the project on hiatus and continued touring.[1] In July 2008, they released an iTunes-exclusive EP, No More Sadface, on Reprise Records instead, which hit No. 43 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[2] Upon releasing the EP, the group opened for The Fray on several tour dates in America.[3][4] Following this, the group opened for Saves the Day on their US tour.[5] Their debut full-length was retitled Common Struggles[6] (former titles include Young Goodman Brown: A Book of Short Stories and Benson Shady Grove),[7] was produced by Howard Benson,[5] and was slated for release on Reprise in 2008.[7] The album's release date was later changed to April 7, 2009.[8] The band has since toured with artists like Alkaline Trio, Plain White Tees,[9] and even made it to the United Kingdom for Reading Festival in 2009.[10]
