History
editIn 2002, Hodges and Mark Colbert began to collaborate and formed Trading Yesterday, recording music from an apartment setup. McMorran would later join the band.
In 2004, Trading Yesterday released the demo CD The Beauty and the Tragedy. They signed to Epic Records and moved to Los Angeles, California to begin work in their major label debut. In May 2005, the single "One Day" was released. However, the band parted with Epic Records on November 30 for unstated reasons,[1] and the album's release was shelved.
After returning to independent status, the band had their demo The Beauty and the Tragedy reprinted for sale on February 25, 2006. On June 27, 2006, Colbert left Trading Yesterday to pursue a career as an audio engineer.
In 2007, the band stopped performing and writing new music under the name Trading Yesterday. Musicians Josh Dunahoo and Will "Science" Hunt joined Hodges and McMorran, and it was announced that the band would change their name from "Trading Yesterday" to "The Age of Information." An EP, Everything is Broken, was released on September 1, 2007.
