Biography

The Main Frame days (2001-2004)

Main article: The Main Frame

The Main Frame was a Long Beach darkwave band formed in 2001 with Steve Krolikowski (vocals and guitar) and Rob Wallace (keyboard). After recording a full-length album, Curse of Evolution (2003) and an unreleased EP, the band decided to dissolve.[1]

Formation of Repeater (2005)

Krolikowski and Wallace continued to work on music together, eventually forming Repeater and eventually added new members into the fold, including Alex Forsythe (guitar) and Matt Hanief (drums).

Repeater released their first demo in 2005, followed by Motionless Hour EP in 2007 and their full-length album, Iron Flowers in 2008. Both Motionless Hour and Iron Flowers were released through the band's own Document Records.

Work with Ross Robinson (2010)

In 2010, the band was discovered by producer, Ross Robinson. Robinson produced the band's next EP called Patterns, as well as their second full-length album, We Walk From Safety.[2] The band released Patterns EP as a joint-release through I AM Recordings and their newly created White Label Collective.
