Aiden began in the spring of 2003, it started out as Jake w, Angel, Jake D, and wiL. It started out as something to have alot of fun with and see where it would take them. They played their first show in July 03, at a pizza place in downtown Seattle called 2nd ave Pizza, after they had written only 5 songs. From there they started playing a lot of shows and writing more songs, most of which would end up on their debut full length entitled "Our Gangs Dark Oath". Nick was introduced to the band in the winter of 2003 and everyone decided that he should play bass and wiL should just sing. In late December Aiden went into the studio to make their first cd, with producer Steve Carter, who wiL had know from playing in an previous band. The result was "our Gangs Dark Oath". The boys took it into their own hands to make cd samplers of some of the material that would be on the album. They pressed about 2000 copies of the two song demos and passed them out at shows, gave them to friends and the like. The record was was released in June of 2004.
