Small Towns Burn a Little Slower originated from the St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota area, coming together as a group in 2002. The original lineup included Jeff McIlvenna on vocals and Luke Allison handling bass duties. Their initial release was the Holding On to What's Killing You EP in 2003, distributed through Dead Letter Records. After undergoing several personnel changes, which brought Danny Wolf and Ryan Traster into the fold, the band embarked on extensive tours and subsequently issued the Small Towns Burn a Little Slower EP in 2004 via Rise Records.
Their first full-length album, titled Mortality as Home Entertainment, debuted on July 26, 2005, under the Triple Crown Records label. That same year, they earned a spot on Alternative Press's list of "100 Bands You Should Know About," highlighting their growing prominence.
The group declared their disbandment on November 6, 2007, with the breakup taking effect by February 2008. This decision was attributed to personal priorities and fatigue from the demands of the music industry. Their final record, So Begins the Test of a Man, was released through Dead Letter Records coinciding with their farewell performance.
