Originally called Vessels, metalcore band the Plot in You initially began as the side project of Landon Tewers, formerly of fellow Findlay, Ohio band Before Their Eyes. In 2010, Tewers announced that he was leaving his old band, focusing his efforts full-time as the singer of the Plot in You. Recruiting guitarists Anthony Thoma and Josh Childress, bassist Ethan Yoder, and drummer Cole Worden, the band quickly set to work, releasing their Wifebeater EP later that year and signing to Rise Records. The band further honed their airtight, breakdown-heavy sound on their full-length debut, 2011's First Born. Guitarist Thoma left the band shortly after the LP's release, and was replaced by Derrick Sechrist, who made his first recorded appearance on the group's 2013 sophomore outing, Could You Watch Your Children Burn. The following year saw the band part ways with Rise Records and ink a deal with Attila frontman Chris Fronzak's StaySick Recordings. Their third studio album, Happiness in Self Destruction, arrived the following year.
