Sing It Loud grew out of a friendship between cousins vocalist Pat Brown and guitarist Kieren Smith, who founded the group together and added members whom they met locally in the Minneapolis music scene. Brown officially brought the group together after his previous band, The Semester, called it quits.[1] He was the former singer and guitarist for local legends The Semester. Frustrated with their lack of mainstream success, The Semester played one final show in the Minneapolis suburb Savage. Drummer Jason Grietens went on to spawn hardcore project Get Young.
Pat Brown recently announced during a live acoustic performance online that Sing It Loud will be releasing their new album in May. Sing It Loud's upcoming album includes a track called "Shadows" that features lead vocals by Kieren Smith and backup vocals by Pat Brown. This will be the first time the two have ever switched roles.
In April 2010, the band supported Motion City Soundtrack on their headlining US tour.[11] Their next album, Everything Collide, containing 11 tracks it came out May 11, 2010.[12] The album reached No. 28 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
On September 14, 2010, after three years as a band, the members decided to go their separate ways. The split was announced via their MySpace page.[13] Their final show was played on October 9, 2010 at Station 4 in their hometown.

The band played a reunion show on October 6, 2012 in Minneapolis. They were joined by Steve Salazar, The Role Call, Love Out Loud, and William Beckett.[14]
