Villain of the Story is a 5 piece band based out of Minnesota that was put together from the minds of Sam Fassler (We are the Blog! / Insomniac) and Andrew Bart (ex Out Came the Wolves). They hand picked Christian Grey (vocals), Logan Bartholomew (vocals/bass), and Cody Pauly (guitar) for their experience within the local scene, having been in previous bands. The 2 wanted to help manage a new band just for sake of seeing where it went. The then incomplete band went into the studio with Johnny Franck (ex Attack Attack! vocalist) in October of 2013, to record .
