TRUSTcompany

Originally called 41 Down, the band then recruited bassist Josh Moates and guitarist James Fukai. After building a local fanbase, the band went on to sign a major label deal with Geffen Records. After being signed, the band changed their name to TRUSTcompany so they would not be confused with the Canadian band Sum 41.

The first and only single from the album, "Stronger", made a moderate impact on mainstream rock radio. According to drummer Jason Singleton (as stated on the band's website message board), the second single may have been "The War is Over".
