Once I Tried Inflicted a brutal assault on the UKs underground music scene for 3 years. Bringing their metallic, yet strangely melodic sound to the stage, supporting bands such as Aconite Thrill, Days in December, Hondo Maclean, Hopesfall, Minus, Murder One and Nora. They formed originally in October of 2002 with Craig Skinner, Tom Garner and Toyan St Hillaire, and after rehearsing with a few different vocalists, eventually Richard Speakman and Phil Wall joined in early 2003, bringing fresh inspiration to the mixture of what at the time was much more upbeat and generic post hardcore. The new vocalists brought fresh ideas, zane, and unpredictability to the sound, yet it still maintained. Sadly in early 2004, Phil decided to part ways with the band but after he left the line-up, the band began to turn onto an even darker road. Richs patented grind core vocal style began to shape the bands sound even more, and the music became much more intense. The band started to develop and was becoming much more creative with their writing, as the members let their musically tastes stretch across the entire spectrum, helping them bring post modern elements into their writing sessions. They recorded their EP at the end of December 2004. One track in Wales, at Mighty Atom Studios, with the legendary Joe Gibb of Mighty Atom Records, and also at Shelter Studios in London with Sikth guitarist Dan Weller The title of the EP Our Film Like Ending was lifted from the lyrics to the final track
