Formed in 2001 by singer Dearborn, Deadstar Assembly, which also included Dreggs on guitar, Cygnus on percussion, Mubo on keyboards, and the Dro on bass, issued their self-titled debut in 2003. Selling over 10,000 units, the group quickly gained fans in its home state of Florida. In April 2006 Mubo left Deadstar Assembly, but this didn't prevent the release of the band's sophomore effort, Unsaved, from coming out on Pure Records in July of that same year.
