Albuquerque was started in early 2004. There were a lot of line up changes that happened between 2004 and 2007. Bryan Smith wrote, recorded and produced a majority of the Albuquerque tunes in his cold basement studio. Jeff Miller was the second longest standing member. In July 2007 Bryan Smith played for the last time under the name "Albuquerque". He then changed the name of the band to his own name so people were less confused as to whom the music was coming from.
