Hidden in Plain View is a five-piece pop punk/emo rock band from northern New Jersey. They formed in 2000 and are currently signed to Drive-Thru Records.

Hailing from different towns around Morristown, New Jersey, Hidden in Plain View formed in August 2000, when former 8 Over Par members Joe Reo (vocals) and Rob Freeman (guitar) merged with former Jersey Nonsense members Kenny Ryan (guitar) and Chris Amato (bass), as well as Derek Reilly (drums). The name "Hidden in Plain View" refers to a situation at singer Reo's day job in a supermarket, where a customer used the expression after needing help finding a blantantly visible item. With this original line-up, the band recorded a three-track demo and soon got in touch with the local record label DAB Records, who released their now sought after, Chris Badami produced, debut Find in March 2001.
