Seattle alt-rock outfit The Myriad began in 2001 with university students Jeremy Edwardson and John Roger Schofield. The duo recruited Scott Davis (drums), Jonathan Young (guitar), and Steven Tracy (guitar, piano) to join them in the endeavor. After three EP releases, their debut album “You Can't Trust a Ladder” was released on June 14, 2005, and the band began touring extensively. In 2006, after the departure of drummer Scott Davis, Randy Miller joined the outfit on drums.

The Myriad's biggest boost came in December 2007, when the band won MTV2's Dew Circuit Breakout competition. Their video for "A Clean Shot" began rotation on the network in January 2008, the same year that their second album, "With Arrows, With Poise," was released on Koch Records on May 13, 2008.

After touring for four years, the band went on hiatus in late 2008 after finding out their drummer Randy Miller had been diagnosed with cancer. In August 2009, the band announced they were heading out on the "All Creatures Tour". Drummer Randy Miller died from chondrosarcoma on November 5, 2010. Soon after Randy’s passing, the band went into what would be a decade-long hiatus.

In 2023, the band announced the release of their first three EPs to streaming platforms on July 21 after only being available physically. In August of 2023, the band released a new single “Signs,” their first new music in 15 years.

In 2024, the band released their next single “We Are,” with returning members Jeremy Edwardson and Scott Davis; and new members Jamie Beaudoin (guitar/piano), Eli Schweyer (guitar/piano), and Norman Williams (bass).
