The band Halifax started in Thousand Oaks, California. Dan Locascio, Matt Locascio, Justin Chlowitz and guitarist Chris Brandt would write songs at the Locascios' house. They later recruited vocalist Mike Hunau to form a full-time touring band. The Locascios' father came up with the name for the band while setting up a hockey tournament in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in which Dan Locascio and Justin Chlowitz were to be playing later that year. In February 2002, the band signed to ECA Records.[4] After several months of occasional touring, Halifax recorded their eleven-song debut album within a week in March 2003. The self-produced and self-funded Start Back at Start was licensed and released in June 2003 by ECA Records.[5][6]

The band's lineup then changed, with guitarist Adam Charles, bassist Kevin Donlon and drummer Tommy Guindon to replace Dan Locascio, Matt Locascio, and Justin Chlowitz. The new line-up recorded Halifax's second album, the self-produced EP A Writer's Reference, released on January 25, 2004 by No Milk Records. While Halifax's debut was much more reminiscent of the band's pop punk influences—namely "Taking Back Sunday" and The Starting Line—their new material showcased a more distinctive style, mainly because of the line-up changes they had undergone. The quintet felt they had become a new band and retired the Start Back at Start catalog from their live shows. The group toyed with renaming the band, but eventually stuck with their already established moniker.

After Halifax toured with various Drive-Thru Records bands, they signed to the label in July 2004.[8] Bassist Donlon left the band. While Chlowitz was initially rumored to return, the vacant position on the bass was instead filled by temporary members or Hunau. A permanent replacement was not found until Doug Peyton joined the band in late 2005. Drive-Thru re-released A Writer's Reference, which had only been sporadically available in record stores, to the general public in January 2005, with new artwork and a bonus track. In May and June 2005, they toured with From First to Last, Emanuel and He Is Legend.[9] International tours followed, such as the Drive-Thru Invasion Tours in Europe and Japan. In between, Halifax appeared on MTV's The Real World: Austin alongside hellogoodbye in a series of episodes about the South by Southwest music festival. The band was unhappy that they had been depicted in the episodes as a group of mindless drunks, but the exposure certainly helped spread the word about the band; it resulted in over one million plays on PureVolume.[5] Following this, they went on an East Coast tour with Scary Kids Scaring Kids.[10] In December 2005, the group went on a headlining tour with support from Punchline, I Am the Avalanche and The Fully Down

On January 8, 2009, the band announced their next album and their departure from Drive-Thru Records.[15] On April 5, Halifax released "Snakeslide" and "My Restless Heart", the first two songs from this forthcoming album, unmastered and unmixed. In July the group released two more songs, "Tonight" and "No Saturation", also unmastered and unmixed. Halifax announced their next single "Breathe" on February 12, 2010. The album, a 6 track EP entitled Align, was released on April 6, 2010. The band announced they were signed to Rocket Science Records on March 30, 2010.
