Confide was an American metalcore band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2004. They released two EPs and three full-length albums. Because the band was on a secular label they were not marketed in the "Christian" market, but their faith plays a big role in their personal lives as well as their music. The band confirmed that they will be disbanding after completing their tour of Japan tour. They plan to play a farewell show on the West Coast upon returning from their tour of Japan.Confide was originally started in August 2004 by Aaron Van Zutphen, Jason Pickard and Josh Plesh as a deathcore act. They went looking for members in their youth group. Josh knew Billy, Jason and Aaron knew Jeffrey, that's how they got their first real line-up. In this period of time, they released two EPs, "Innocence Surround" and "Introduction".

In the end of 2006, former vocalist Josh left the band, and was replaced by current frontman Ross Michael Kenyon, putting his other band Penknifelovelife on hiatus.[1] Ross moved to the United States to be with his girlfriend and went looking on the internet for bands who needed a singer. After some chatting with Jeffrey, he moved to his house and they started practicing. This line-up change also made the band shift into a purist metalcore sound. But in January 2007 Ross had to move back to Europe and started playing with penknifelovelife again, putting another band on hiatus: Confide. After one tour with And Their Eyes Were Bloodshot in Europe he stated on his bands MySpace he was leaving for Confide again. penknifelovelife split up and Confide started writing for Shout the Truth.
