In 2003, after a few years of jamming and playing small local shows, bassist Johnny Abdullah and guitarist Adam Rodgers joined the band. From there they put some self-produced recordings on MP3.com where they were discovered by manager Jorge Hernandez (by luck, they were the first band to pop up on the popular site purevolume. in and thus being the first band Hernandez listened to.
Noticing that they were catchy and attractive he signed them). Within a few months they had a deal with Immortal Records and released their EP Change Is The Only Constant. In 2005 the band released their first full-length, An Offer You Can't Refuse and landed a spot on the Vans Warped Tour.
Just a year after their first album, on August 15th A Change of Pace released their second record, Prepare The Masses. The band also added a fifth member to the band, Dan Parker (previously in Don't Let Go).
Band members include:
Torry Jasper: lead vocals
Jonathan Kelly: drums
Johnny Abdullah: bass, vocals
Adam Rodgers: lead guitar
Dan Parker: guitar, vocals

The lyrics of A Change of Pace's song "December" talk about a failed relationship that the singer should have seen coming. They mention how they believed the relationship was way too good for anyone but themselves, which may reflect an arrogance in believing they were the only one deserving of such a great relationship. The lyrics suggest that the other person involved may have been lying and that the singer hopes they suffer because of it.
The song is cyclical, starting and ending in December and November respectively, with September coming too soon. This repetition of the same months creates a sense of being stuck in a never-ending cycle of pain and disappointment. Overall, the song has a melancholic and regretful tone, emphasizing the hurt that comes with the end of a relationship.

should have seen this coming
I should have known that this was going to happen
way too good
You were too good for anyone but me

We are aware of the truth

We know that you also know the truth

Our relationship began in December

this time
During this particular period of time
september
September marks a significant moment in our relationship
came too fast too soon
Things moved too quickly for us during September
you'll run out of lies
You will eventually exhaust all of your excuses
all options have run dry
There are no more choices or solutions available
cause youre alone
You are left to face the consequences of your actions without support
i hope you suffer
I want you to feel the pain of your mistakes
that we miss
We mourn the loss of what we once had
too soon
Our time together came to an end much earlier than expected
