History
Initially formed as a three-piece ensemble in 2001, Sullivan released their EP Count the Time in Quarter Tones in 2002 through Forsaken/Tribunal Records. This release achieved strong sales and facilitated an extensive touring schedule. Subsequently, they secured a contract with Tooth & Nail Records. By 2006, the lineup expanded to four members: Brooks Paschal (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Zach Harward (bass), Phil Chamberlain (drums), and Tyson Shipman (lead guitar). That same year, they launched their international debut album Hey, I'm a Ghost, which included the single "Down Here, We All Float". Their follow-up album, Cover Your Eyes, was released on June 5, 2007, featuring guitarist Jeremy Stanton.
Phil Chamberlain is the brother of Spencer Chamberlain, the frontman of Underoath. Prior to forming Sullivan, some members participated in the metalcore band This Runs Through, including Tyson Shipman.
Former drummer Mike Lawrence was involved with Tribunal Records' metalcore act Heartscarved and contributed both guitar and keyboard parts to Curse Your Name.
In late 2007, during their headlining "Cover Your Eyes Tour," the band decided to disband. They clarified that no internal disputes prompted the split; rather, it was a decision made in the best interest of all members.
After the breakup, Paschal, Shipman, and Stanton created The Afterlife Kids and released a self-titled EP in 2010. Additionally, Paschal embarked on a solo career under the name Surprises.
On October 13, 2013, Sullivan debuted a new track titled "Profile" on YouTube. Shortly after, on November 27, 2013, they issued an acoustic EP called Undressed, which featured reinterpretations of songs from their earlier albums. In the summer of 2014, they signed with Spartan Records and subsequently released Heavy Is The Head on December 9, 2014.
