Churchill was a rock group originating from Denver, initially formed as a duo by Tim Bruns and Mike Morter in 2008, before expanding to a five-member lineup by 2009. The band independently issued a self-titled EP in 2009, followed by their debut full-length album Happy/Sad in 2011. Early in 2012, they released their second EP, Change, which was later re-released after they signed with A&M/Octone Records that same year. The Change EP climbed to number nine on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, while its lead single reached number seventeen on the Alternative Songs chart and was selected as iTunes' Free Song of the Week in early 2013. A new full album was slated for release in 2013.
Churchill served as the primary opening act for the European segment of Pink's The Truth About Love Tour.
On July 12, 2013, the band announced their breakup and canceled all forthcoming engagements. Mike Morter commented, "To protect all of us, we just say that we decided to go different ways. It ended after a great high."
