Eleventyseven (stylized eleventyseven) is an American Christian punk band from Greenville, South Carolina which was formed in 2002. They chose the name "Eleventyseven" because "it's the one that looked cool the next morning". The band was originally signed to Flicker Records and released two albums with the label that charted on Christian music charts. After an independent streak, the band signed on to Sony Japan before returning to an independent status a year later. They continued to tour, self produce and release music independently until disbanding in September, 2014. On November 25, 2016, they announced via social media that they have come back together to record a new album.

Group members Matt Langston and Caleb Satterfield first played together in a church group from Laurens, South Carolina. The duo originally went under the moniker Protective Custody during the group's initial infancy. After adding drummer Johnathan Stephens and renaming themselves Eleventyseven, the band began by playing shows in their hometown when they were in high school, with their first real show being a local True Love Waits rally. The band went on to release a five-song demo EP at The Jam Room in Columbia, South Carolina and then met music producer Ricky Rodriguez after playing a local See You at the Pole event. With Rodriguez, the band released an independent full-length album entitled The Happiest Day of My Death. After the band self-released the album and EP and a few years time, Rodriguez was able to catch the attention of Flicker Records founders Mark Stuart and Will McGinniss (of Audio Adrenaline).

In 2005, after getting a record deal offer from Flicker, the band embarked on their first tour, with a handful of various other Christian artists, entitled the Extreme Tour. After leaving the tour early, Eleventyseven was signed and accepted to Flicker Records. In early 2006, the band joined Superchick on their "This is Your Anthem" tour, along with Seventh Day Slumber.
