History
And Then There Were None formed in 2003 as a metalcore band, and toured across the United States in support of their highly acclaimed self-released EP "6,000 tries". The band supposedly chose the name because as they were searching sparknotes.com, the title for the Agatha Christie novel from which the band got their name was situated between Aerosmith and As I Lay Dying. The members of And Then There Were None loved the idea of being situated between those two bands they admired and decided to adopt the name.
In 2007, they went through a transition, from metal to incorporating more electronica elements. New members also joined in that year creating a new working dynamic. Dance music came easily and allowed for more freedom. It also gave them the opportunity to play more light-hearted, uplifting music.
They signed to Tooth & Nail Records in 2008 and released the single "Reinventing Robert Cohn" in January 2009. Their full-length album Who Speaks for Planet Earth? was released February 24 of that year. This album reached No. 16 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart and No. 14 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Then in December 2009, the band released an online copy of a remix of "Thank the Watchmaker" in an acoustic version.
