The Age of Information
American band
The Age of Information (formerly known as Trading Yesterday) was an American alternative rock band formed in 2002 by David Hodges and Mark Colbert, and later joined by Steven McMorran. In 2004, they released a demo CD titled The Beauty and the Tragedy, then they released their first single, "One Day", in 2005 after signing with Epic Records. Their album "More Than This" was shelved when their contract with Epic ended, but it was released independently in 2011 by Hodges' Sleepwalker Records.
History
In 2002, Hodges and Mark Colbert began to collaborate and formed Trading Yesterday, recording music from an apartment setup. McMorran would later join the band.
In 2004, Trading Yesterday released the demo CD The Beauty and the Tragedy. They signed to Epic Records and moved to Los Angeles, California to begin work in their major label debut. In May 2005, the single "One Day" was released. However, the band parted with Epic Records on November 30 for unstated reasons, and the album's release was shelved.
After returning to independent status, the band had their demo The Beauty and the Tragedy reprinted for sale on February 25, 2006.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2355351. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2011.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
