Maritime formed in 2003 out of the ashes of the Promise Ring and the Dismemberment Plan. After these two bands broke up, singer/guitarist Davey von Bohlen and drummer Dan Didier (of Promise Ring fame) and bassist Eric Axelson (of the Dismemberment Plan) hooked up and started a band called "In English." The group quickly signed a deal with Anti- Records and hired J. Robbins to produce their record. Robbins had previously produced records for both the Promise Ring and the Dismemberment Plan. After delivering the record to Anti-, the label heads decided to pass on the record. The band changed their name to Maritime and signed with DeSoto Records. The band went on tour and self-released an EP called Adios on their own label, Foreign Leisure. On April 1, 2004 the band released Glass Floor on Desoto Records.
