Chosen X was formed late 1999 as something for the original members to do for fun on the weekends. As time went on it became more evident that this was not just going to be a weekend thing. The band played their first show in June of 2000 and over the next year recorded two EPs independently. They played a many shows locally before they grabbing the attention of Circle Productions in late 2001. The next year they recorded their EP with Circle Productions, entitled "The Moment Is Gone". That summer they toured the country for a month playing multiple venues and festivals. All during the rest of the year they played many local shows with local bands as well as some touring bands. The year 2003, however, would prove to be the busiest year for Chosen X. They were in the process of writing music for their first full length album when Circle Productions dissolved in mid-2003. Unfazed by this turn of events, Chosen X decided to move on independently again. They continued to write music and play shows in the local scene with such bands as Copeland, The Rocket Summer, Denison Marrs, Anberlin, Justifide, Celebrity, Pillar, Philmore, and many others. On March 23, 2004, the band released their first full-length album, "For the Times You Feel Dead or Alive."
In the summer of 2005, guitarist Rob Carbonell and founding member and bassist Dan Blue parted ways with the band, leaving Josh, Jared, and Jesse to look for new members. The band officially broke up in December 2005. Josh, Jared, and Jesse formed a new band with new members JohnFrank Dieguez and Julio Araujo called The Motive. Check out their myspace page here.
