Hidden In Plain View formed in August 2000 playing together much in the DIY style releasing two EP’s on small indie labels (Note To Self Records and LLR Records) while playing out to fans in the Northeast US. HIPV signed with southern California pop punk label Drive-Thru Records (2003 - 2007) beginning a touring and recording career that saw the releases of a self-titled EP (November 2003), Life in Dreaming LP (February 2005), and Resolution LP (July 2007). It was the impact of these releases as well as notable national and international support and headlining tours with bands such as Something Corporate, Midtown, Mae, Allister, Less Than Jake, 2004 and 2005 Vans Warped Tour, Academy Is, Matchbook Romance, The Starting Line, The Early November, Fall Out Boy, and MXPX that solidified the band as a mainstay of the Drive Thru Records era.

Hidden In Plain View is forever known for their dynamic style of punk/emo and alternative sound as well as their hardcore dedicated fan base. They are a stand out among others of similar style with their ability to get in front of their sound vocally with trade offs and harmonies between Joe Reo and Rob Freeman. HIPV accomplishes all of this without losing the meaning and sincerity of Rob Freeman’s most memorable lyrics. Their drum styles are the driving backbone that stand out as much as the melodies and harmonies of HIPV’s vocals. Their live show, their sound, and their entire image is down right honest and refreshing.
