They began as a trio with founding members Genevieve Schatz and Marc Walloch alongside drummer Mike Ortiz. In 2011 Ortiz posted a formal letter to his fans on the official website of Company of Thieves stating his decision to depart from the band. Ortiz’s drumming was a distinguishing factor of the band’s sound along with the unique guitar chords of Marc over the beautifully soothing sound of Genevieve’s voice. The band then picked up drummer.
