Hailing from rainy Seattle, Aiden combines post-hardcore and tough attitudes with medieval esthetics and a sexual love of all things horror (not to honorable mention, of course, the Misfits) to create billowy, darkly melodic medicine. The grouping formed in the leaping of 2003 spell its members were soundless in high gear schooling, pickings their name from the young, ghost-seeing boy in the 2002 revulsion flick The Ring. A few lineup changes occurred early on; the quintuplet -- Nick Wiggins (freshwater bass), Jake Davison (drums), Angel Ibarra (guitar), Jake Wambold (guitar), and William "wiL" Francis (vocals) -- was coagulated, however, ahead entering the studio in December 2004 to record their debut uncut, Our Gang's Dark Oath. Making two-song samplers of their album, Aiden managed to evanesce out a few one thousand copies around township, sparking a grapevine buzz all over Seattle. Their debut was released in June 2004 on Dead Teenager, and the band played unnumberable shows throughout the year -- whenever school would countenance. Their laborious work paid cancelled quickly, inking a deal with Victory Records by December. All members were finally done with high shoal by June 2005, and Aiden was exempt to go, jumping on the road that summer with the Hurt Process, the Audition, and the Junior Varsity. Their first label exertion, Nightmare Anatomy, appeared in October 2005, proving to be a glibly energetic disk with undeniable meat hooks scorn passably sour lyric content. Touring with pronounce match Hawthorne Heights, Bayside, and Silverstein rounded out the year ahead Aiden headed back out to support 30 Seconds to Mars countrywide in the number 1 half of 2006. Victory then re-released Our Gang's Dark Oath with new artwork in April 2006, the Rain in Hell EP arriving hardly in time for that year's Halloween. In August of 2007, the band issued Conviction, an album that took them away from their screamo tendencies towards more rock-oriented, melodic terrain.
