Seattlebased Amber Pacific first formed in 2002 as Follow Through. Hopeless Records heard some of the band's initial recordings and signed them up, and the combo made their debut as Amber Pacific in May 2004 with the Fading Days EP. The sound was urgent, slick punkpop in the vein of Story of the Year, Audition, and All American Rejects. Amber Pacific worked hard in the summer that followed, honing their skills as a touring band with dates on the Warped Tour. Following that they reentered the studio, and the fulllength Possibility and the Promise appeared just about a year after the original EP. By this point the band's lineup included vocalist Matt Young, guitarists Will Nutter and Justin Westcott, drummer Dango and bassist Greg Strong.
