Gatlin started out in 2003 under the name Hostile Addiction with the lineup of: Erik Albraan(vocals), Luke Stanbery(lead guitar), Alex Bunger(Rythem Guitar), Zach Nelson(bass) and Jeremy Person(drums)
in late 2003 Alex quit the band when he heard rumors that he was going to be kicked out and Nick Person came in and filled Alex's spot, at this time Hostile Addiction had changed there name to Social Epidemik not to long after Alex left Erik was kicked out of the band because of "creative diferences"
in early 2004 Zach, Nick and Jeremy decided to kick Luke Stanbery out of the band and have Nick do the lead at this point the band lost its heavy metal sound and did more Punkish Alternitive Rock kind of stuff also the band decided to change there name once again to Broken
not to long after the sound change and the name change the band decided to seek out a new rythem guitarist they tried out two people: a guy named Cory Thompson and the former member Alex Bunger and Alex won the spot
in mid 2004 Alex Jeremy and Nick decoded to get rid of there bassist Zach Nelson, with the removal of Zach the band turned back towards the metalic sound they originaly had
also in mid 2004 the band finaly decided to seek out a vocalist, they asked a friend Aaron Allen if he would like to try out, he said he would, after the first song they played he was in the band
