Dr. Acula was founded in 2005, originally as simply amusement between the band members and released an EP independently the following year. Afterward they recorded and released their demo in 2007, gaining attention from Uprising Records, they were signed to the label. The following next year their debut-full length album, Below Me was released through Uprising, receiving mixed to negative critical reception by many.[1][2][3] In the proceeding year, the band saw themselves touring and performing at many local and national festival with more popularized and larger groups. Following into December of 2009 three members of the band departed, all leaving just one original member of the group.[4]
After re-aligning their line-up, Dr. Acula released their second studio album, The Social Event of the Century in 2010, also through Uprising Records. It was met with better reception than Below Me, although is said that it does not warrant an entirely new sound from this previous record.[5][6]
After the release of this record, Dr. Acula were taken in with a Victory Records contract.[7][8] The band stated that they do expect to release a new album during February of 2011 through Victory.[9]
