The band began in 2003 with just Gorbel's vocals and Kamstra's multi-instrumental talents, where they played with an indie record label before being signed onto Doghouse Records. After releasing their debut album, "Anything Else But The Truth" in 2004, the band eventually signed on ex-member of The Format, Adam Boyd (formerly of Greeley Estates), along with Jonathan Wiley. After heavy touring, the Honorary Title released "Scream and Light Up The Sky" in 2007. In late 2007, Aaron Kamstra left the band because of the constant touring schedule. Jonathan Wiley also left the band to tour with Adam Green. In an interview with Absolutepunk.net on April 1, 2008, Gorbel said, "Aaron and I always had different ideas of where we were headed both musically, artistically, personally blah blah blah. We spent more time arguing than actually creating music. I wish him the best of luck. Jon is currently touring with Adam Green. There's no hard feelings, but we will miss him anyways; both amazing musicians."
