Nick Santino started A Rocket to the Moon in the summer of 2006 as a musical experiment. He formerly fronted the local bands The Bad Year and The Midway Class.[1]

Santino assembled a band of musicians in early 2008 with the help of The Maine prior to A Rocket to the Moon's first major festival appearance, at The Bamboozle.[2] They then appeared on the July 10, 2008 episode of Total Request Live, performing the song "Dakota".[3] Contrary to popular belief, A Rocket to the Moon was never signed to Decaydance Records by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. Wentz had shown interest in the band and wanted to do a Fueled By Ramen/Decaydence split but the Decaydence side of the deal never worked out.[4][5] An official announcement of the signing to Fueled by Ramen was made in August 2008.[6] Separate tours supporting both The Cab[7] and A Cursive Memory[8] followed in the fall of 2008. They also toured with Cute Is What We Aim For, Secondhand Serenade and Automatic Loveletter.[9] On October 14, 2008 the band released their EP Greetings From... (produced by Matt Grabe), featuring the singles "Dakota" and "If Only They Knew". The record reached #21 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[10]

The band spent the first part of February and March 2009 in the studio with Matt Squire recording their debut full-length album.[11] They were the opening band on Alternative Press magazine's AP Tour 2009, with The Maine, Hit The Lights, Family Force 5 and 3OH!3 sponsored by Rockstar.[12] They played the May 3rd lineup of the 2009 Bamboozle festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey[13] and played select dates on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour [14]
