After being formed in February in the town of Monmouth in the Newport area, Thousand Fingers were formed through a meeting at a night out in a pub. Charlie Whaley and George Morgan came together on an idea of forming a Melodic-Post-Rock sound. After a few band practices and idea sessions, they would write their first two songs "Soldiers" and "The Element". It took a while to solidify the band, as they needed a drummer.
