History
Established in 2001 by the songwriting duo Geremy Jasper (vocals) and Chris Sanchez (guitar), The Fever grew into a five-member ensemble and secured a contract with Kemado Records. Their initial release was the EP Pink on Pink in 2002, which was succeeded by their first full album, Red Bedroom, in 2003. The band shared stages with prominent artists including Hot Hot Heat, Death From Above 1979, and Metric. Following the exit of Sanchez, Keith Stapleton moved from playing bass to guitar, leading to the release of In the City of Sleep in 2006. The group dissolved later that same year.
