==History==

===Formation and self-titled debut EP (2006–2009)=== Abandon All Ships was founded in 2006 in Toronto, Ontario, originally playing covers of Norma Jean songs.<ref name=allmusicbio/> The band started when the members were in 8th grade doing screamo and pop punk.<ref name="Substream"/> Most of the band members attended Dante Alighieri Academy, including lead vocalist Angelo Aita, keyboardist Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez, and original guitarist David Stephens; Toronto friends Martin Broda and Francesco Pallotta were added on bass and drums respectively.<ref name="Substream"/><ref name=allmusicbio/> In 2007, Nick Fiorini was added on rhythm guitar.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

By 2008, the band had released four demo songs online: "Megawacko", "When Dreams Become Nightmares", "Brendon's Song" and "Pedestrians Is Another Word for Speedbump".{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} After rising in the Toronto scene, the group toured and opened for many larger bands in their same genre, such as Blessed by a Broken Heart and Silverstein.<ref name="disBand">{{cite web|title=Abandon All Ships|url=http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/disband/abandonallships.aspx|publisher=MuchMusic |access-date=October 29, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110918193746/http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/disband/abandonallships.aspx|archive-date=September 18, 2011}}</ref> By the end of 2008, Nick Fiorini had been replaced by Andrew Paiano.<ref name=allmusicbio/> They were given even more exposure after their appearance on the MuchMusic's Canadian television program ''Disband'' and began playing shows outside of Ontario.<ref name="disBand"/> The band released their self-titled EP on February 24, 2009.<ref name="Substream"/> In 2009, the band embarked on the Drop Your Pants and Dance tour with support from These Silhouettes and Hometown Beatdown.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Julien |first=Alexandre |author-link=Alexander Julien |date=September 19, 2009 |title=The Zyphoid Process & Great White North |url=http://www.abridgedpause.com/thezyphoidprocess-greatwhitenorth |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229215625/http://www.abridgedpause.com/thezyphoidprocess-greatwhitenorth |archive-date=December 29, 2019 |access-date=September 6, 2020 |website=Abridged Pause Blog |language=en-US}}</ref>

Because Christian themes appeared in the band's earlier material, some thought that Abandon All Ships was a Christian band, but it was not; its regular use of profanity and suggestive lyrics eventually settled the debate.<ref>{{cite web|title=Abandon All Ships – Geeving – Album Review|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1949172|publisher=AbsolutePunk|date=October 6, 2010|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120718133725/http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1949172|archivedate=July 18, 2012|accessdate=May 14, 2024}}</ref>
