Sol Zimmerdahl joined a band with Kial Collins and Ben Judge in 2004. The group went through a plethora of band names through it's first years; Vicious Cycle, the Convicts, and Bane among others until deciding on "The ABNORMS" in 2006, a decision made just in time for the first rough demos. The first album was self titled and locally recorded with the original three piece in 2008, but was never made available to the public. Because of internal struggles ranging from differences in vision to lack of proper motivation, The ABNORMS didn't release an album till the turn of the year in 2013 at a well attended show at the Hawthorne Theater. Shortly after that album entitled "Reborn Through Strife" was released the band split again for the third time in its history while attempting to promote the new material. One year has passed since then and Sol Zimmerdahl has picked up the ABNORMS again, this time adding new members Dylan Valentine and Anthony Medici.
