History

Calico System formed in the summer 1998 as a group of friends. The quartet, hailing from the St. Louis area, take a variety of different elements from metal & hardcore and fuse them with emo, groove, punk and various other genres.

After solidifying their line-up they have gone on to independently release two EPs and complete several independent tours. They have also gained supporting spots for such bands as: Hatebreed, Poison the Well, Open Hand, Hopesfall, Finger Eleven, Candiria, Sworn Enemy, Codeseven, dredg, Chiodos, Love Hate Hero,Cormica { and many others.

The continuous touring seemed to pay off gaining them a spot on Eulogy Records where they would release their first LP, 'The Duplicated Memory". The album consisted of all of the songs on their local label ep, "Love Will Kill All" plus two brand new songs and one song that was re-recorded from their very first ep, "Question The Answer".

Calico System's new album, "They Live" was released in November 2005. A video for the single "They Live" aired on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

A video for the track "Running with Scissors" from the album "They Live" was also released.

The band recorded their new album, titled, "Outside Await the Vultures" in January of 2007. Mixing was said to be completed the first week of February for a June release date through Eulogy Records.

It was announced during recording that Erik Ramsier would leave the band to pursue a life with his family.

Shortly thereafter, Shawn Keith, announced he was leaving the band to work at a record label in West Hollywood, CA.

Currently Josh Travis is filling in on guitar and Brad Sexton on Drums. Both from the St. Louis band When Knives Go Skyward.

Recently Calico System had to be changed to The Calico System because of a company of the same name.

On Wednesday, July 18, 2007. Calico System made a blog about how they are breaking up.
