They were signed to notable post-rock label Temporary Residence Limited for their life as a band. By the End of Tonight formed in 2003 by Stefan Mach, Josh Smith, James Templeton, and Jeff Wilson. In 2006 Brett Taylor replaced Josh in the guitar role. They have toured with Anathallo, Tera Melos, Sleeping People, Buxton, O Pioneers, etc. They were the only band ever to be signed by Temporary Residence Limited based only on a demo (in their case, ...In a Letter to the Sandbox) Jeff Wilson left the band in early 2008.
