Track listing

Development

The album was made when the band were 15-17 years old. They signed to Wolfgramm Productions in 2003 after many live performances of the band that caught the label's eyes. The album had been worked on since 2003 and on the band's and Wolfgramm Productions' website (which both are dead) they showcase early demos of the songs. After finally being done in the final stages of being manufactured, the band made a release party on the same day, celebrating the hard work of the band and thanking the fans for helping out, they sold the cd for $10.

Aftermath

This is the only album that features James Flaherty before his sudden departure in 2005. When the band was asked about his disappearance, this was their reply, "To clear things up, we have parted ways with our guitarist, James Flaherty for undisclosed reasons, but there are no hard feelings." Because of this, Maika has decided to step down from the position of lead singer, which will allow him to focus more on his guitar work (which Maika changed his mind of stepping down as lead singer later on). With that said, There For Tomorrow is in search of a back vocalist and a guitarist, which in 2006 they found Christian Climer to take his place. Years after the release of Point Of Origin, the band gave little recognition to the existence of this album and mostly forgot about it.
