Hellogoodbye乐队于2001年由亨廷顿海滩高中学生Forrest Kline(吉他手,主唱)的最早创立.后来在伙伴Jesse Kurvink(键盘手)的援助下,Kline开始在他的电脑上录制一些最初仅仅是为了和朋友一起娱乐时候玩玩的Power Pop歌曲.无论如何,Helloboodbye的发展很稳定,他们的作品也越来越多的出现在MP3.Com上.— 总计十一首作品在歌迷群之间传播，《The Parachute EP》被贴上标签作为Demo版本在他们之间流行。其实最初，《The Parachute EP》是计划正式发行的，但只有四首歌,不过不管怎么样,这些复制品也确实点燃了Kline的决心.
据Kline说,乐队的名字是从Beatles乐队的名曲"Hello Goodbye中得到灵感的,同时也是电视剧《Saved by the Bell》中的一句台词,这是一个很寻常,但却稍纵即逝的感觉.
2002年,Hellogoodbye开始在几百人的当地的音乐会演出,而当时的情况是他们甚至还没有发行一张唱片...

A group of quirky, fun-loving emo rockers from California, Hellogoodbye seem to take as much influence from modern pop-punk as they do from the original Nintendo sound bleeps that held children captive in the late '80s. Formed by high school friends in 2002, the group's playful brand of indie power pop is infused with sugary sweetness, catchy dance beats, and enough energy to tire a group of five-year-olds. Hellogoodbye, named after a quote from Saved by the Bell's Screech Powers, is composed of vocalist/guitarist Forrest Kline, bassist Marcus Cole, keyboardist Jesse Kurvink, and drummer Chris Profeta. First releasing their self-titled EP for free download on their label's website, the physical album hit stores with an additional track in November 2004 on Drive Thru (where Kline used to intern). The move worked to the band's advantage and their music quickly spread; the single "Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn" made minor waves on MTV and garnered the band a pretty notable following for having only a handful of songs to their name. Extensive touring commenced, joining up for gigs (which often included water guns, confetti, and costumes) with bands like the Format and the All-American Rejects. The music video/live DVD OMG HGB DVD ROTFL appeared in the fall of 2005, and by the year's end, the band had won the on-air MTV Dew Circuit Breakout contest, beating Over It and Tub Ring in the end. Early 2006 was spent playing sold-out nationwide dates as openers for the Academy Is... before hooking up with Motion City Soundtrack and Straylight Run in the spring for the MTVU Campus Invasion Tour. A spot on May's Bamboozle festival preceded a summer spent on the Warped Tour. All this activity ultimately led up to the release of their highly anticipated full-length Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!, which finally hit stores that August.
