Winston Audio was formed in 2003, but the music they create today really began in 2006, when a founding member left and a new member joined. Although the new line up hadn't been together long, the five piece recorded their first EP, Come on, Hibernate, in July, 2006, with Kyle Hale (O'Brother). The band remembers the experience fondly, as a learning process that helped them realize the ultimate direction Winston Audio's music would take.
