Peeling Grey was formed in June of 2008 by Andy Smith and Mike O'Hare. Smith had taken a stab at writing lyrics and experimenting with four track home recordings throughout previous years.
The band made its debut live performance at Fonzfest with The Clash City Rockers (Clash tribute) on April 18th of that year. A string of live shows all over the Los Angeles area slowly started to develop local interest in the band, particularly from the underground Indie, Post Punk, and Goth scenes.
