History
Formation and first two albums (2001-2008)
The band formed in 2001 by former students at Winston Churchill High School and Mountain View High School in Eugene Oregon, the same place where Rock N Roll Soldiers and Tracy Bonham have started their music career, taking their name from a small insect, the caddisfly. After several independent releases, the band signed to Hopeless Records in 2004 and released Buy Our Intention; We'll Buy You a Unicorn through the label on March 8, 2005. Exclaim! likened the band's sound to that of The Juliana Theory, calling the album "the perfect blend of thrash, mainstream rock, and textured prog all wrapped up in post-punk emo."
Kaddisfly made multiple nationwide tours between 2003 and 2008. They performed on the 2007 Take Action Tour with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Emery, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and A Static Lullaby. They also performed on the Smart Punk Stage as part of the 2007 Vans Warped Tour.
An EP, Four Seasons, was released in 2006, and a second album, Set Sail the Prairie, was issued in 2007, both on Hopeless sublabel Sub City Records.
