They self-released their debut EP Forever in 2002, before releasing their follow-up albums Celebrate Mistakes (2003) on Floodgate Records and Promises For The Imperfect (2005) on Tooth & Nail Records.

In 2006, Number One Gun decided to move on to different projects despite their growing success. A recently posted Myspace bulletin cleared up the state of the band, stating that Schneeweis has a new band called The North Pole Project, Keene and Mallory formed Surrogate, and Sellers plays bass in Armed for Apocalypse.

However, when Schneeweis approached Tooth and Nail about signing his solo project, The North Pole Project, they wanted him to release the album under Number One Gun. So The North Pole Project became the album name instead. It was released on Tooth and Nail on January 15, 2008.

The band's following release, To The Secrets And Knowledge, was a continuation of the one-man project.

In June 2012, Jeff Schneeweis announced on his Twitter that he was developing a new song under the Number One Gun band name. Further posts on Twitter and Facebook revealed that the original lineup would be reuniting to write and record a new full-length album. In July 2012, the band launched a Kickstarter page to help fund their new album and subsequent tour. In addition, the band announced that Stephen Christian, lead singer of the band Anberlin, would collaborate and contribute vocals for at least one song on the album. The album, This Is All We Know, was made available on November 27, 2013, to fans who backed the Kickstarter project, and officially released on January 14, 2014, on Tooth & Nail Records.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Body on the shoulder
Heavy is upon us
Isn't what you wanted
Tell me when it's over

Over this I hate it
But hate is overrated
Rate what you can make it

Can you even take it all
Away

Disappear Disappearing
(Heavy is upon us)
Your disappear disappearing

You got to run away
You got to escape
You're nowhere now
NO

You do anything for love
'Cause love is what you're made of
You'll make it out oh somehow
Just keep your eyes on me now

Your worry will be over
Over soon just know that
That I will overcome this
For you I'll take it all away
(Away)

Disappear Disappearing
(Heavy is upon us)
Your disappear disappearing

You got to run away
You got to escape
You're nowhere now
NO
You're nowhere now
(You're nowhere now)

Burden off shoulders
It's over now
Oh yea so
Look up the sky is
Is pouring out
Your love

Disappear Disappearing
YEA

Disappear Disappearing
(Heavy is upon us)
Your disappear disappearing

You got to run away
You got to escape
You're nowhere now

Oh
You're nowhere now
