For All Those Sleeping was formed in 2007 while Mike Champa, Jerad Pierskalla, David Volgman-Stevens and Ethan Trekell were still in high school. Their self-released their 2007 demo and 2008 EP "The Lies We Live" featured the band's original sound which combined melodic sounds with pop punk influences, and brutal breakdowns.

As their local fanbase grew, the band gained the attention of Fearless Records, and were signed in the spring of 2010.

Their debut, Cross Your Fingers, released on July 20, 2012, through Fearless Records, was met with mostly mixed reviews. The album was heavily influenced by the bands love of horror films, and of their hometown's history, evident in songs "Outbreak of Heartache" and "Never Leave Northfield", the latter of the two based on Jesse James and the James Gang's final bank robbery in Minnesota.
