History

See You Next Tuesday was formed in Bay City, Michigan, in February 2004, the band originally started out as a joke, but when the group found their early live performances went well, they began to take their music seriously. The group released two EPs with their original vocalist, Brandon "Bear" Schroder before his leaving in 2007. After Schroder's departure, Chris Fox, formerly of the metalcore band Flesh and Blood Robot took his place.
