Since its origin, Waking Ashland -- drawing a great deal of its wakeless from Ben Folds -- has chiefly centered around vocalist/keyboardist Jonathan Jones and guitar player Ryan Lallier, wHO originally formed the band on with drummer Thomas Lee in November 2003 patch all three were music majors at California State University. Robert Teegarden temporarily filled in on bass. In early 2004, they self-released their debut EP, I Am for You, patch the lineup was completed by guitarist Nick Rucker and bassist Derek Vaughn replacing Teegarden. Rucker and Vaughn before long left hand the stripe and bassist Andrew Grosse united. The bandmembers dropped out of college when finding success with the record and garnering attention from several record labels. Tooth & Nail signed Waking Ashland and released the full-length Calm in May 2005. In September 2005, Grosse and Lee left the band. Without lasting replacements, Jones and Lallier used temporary touring members that included drummer Joe Greenetz from Sherwood and bassist Trevor Sellers from Number One Gun. In June 2006 Waking Ashland released the Telescopes EP on Immortal. Their next uncut, The Well, appeared the following April, which featured new recruits Nathan Harold (bass) and Tim Very (drums).
