Three-fourths of Attention once comprised the core of Atlantic Records recording artists Gratitude, a band that achieved international success playing such major events as Coachella, Reading and Leeds, and toured with heavy hitting bands like My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World, Minus the Bear, Straylight Run, and Funeral For a Friend.

Attention recorded the Stand Strong EP at Seedy Underbelly studios in Los Angeles, CA. The tracks were produced and engineered by Grammy Award winner Chris Testa (Dixie Chicks, Jimmy Eat World), mixed by Grammy Award winner James Harley (Lucinda Williams, Quietdrive, Lucky Boys Confusion), and mastered by Vlado Meller (Kanye West, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis).

Without the help of a label or booking agent, Attention completed a very successful US tour with Victory recording artists The Forecast and Spitalfield, as well as Icon Mes recording artists The Graduate (Nov-Dec 2007).

Attention was selected as one of Alternative Press' top unsigned bands in issue 239.

In the spring of 2008, Attention toured the UK with ex-Gratitude and Far singer Jonah Matranga.

Attention recently released the full-length follow-up to their Stand Strong EP, entitled Everything Takes Forever. The band co-produced the album at Pound £Sound Studios with Grammy Award winner, James Harley.

Songs from Everything Takes Forever were selected to appear in six different television shows on MTV, E! and Oxygen networks beginning summer 2009.
