Name and beliefs
Lead Guitarist Marco Mendoza addressed if the band was a Christian band or not, on YouTube. He also stated their original name. Here is the full statement: {{blockquote|This is Marco Mendoza I am the Other guitarist and I AM Christian. We started off as a Christian Band we use to be called From The Shallows Came The Sinners. But that name was waaaay to long so we cut it in half. Most of the members where Christian through many changes but we were not always ALL Christian. We wanted to be known as a Positive band more than anything – not necessarily a Christian band – just a band with positive beliefs. Me and our vocalist wrote the lyrics. Yes we are both Christian.}}{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/all_comments?lc=hRkm_jKP70Jh_cg5k3J6x2UPheN20U9xNlUb9hvd7aw&v=9fkveoqsGFE&noapp=1|title=Marco Mendoza on YouTube|publisher=YouTube|first=Marco|last=Mendoza|accessdate=November 24, 2015}}{{Dead link|date=June 2023}}
