Nick Karch (guitars, keyboards, lead vocals) and Mat Keselman (drums and percussion, backing vocals) met as they entered grade 9 at Vaughan Secondary School in 2002. Shortly after, they would meet Richard Frankel (bass, bass pedals) who was in grade 12 at the time, and discover each other’s interests in music. After discussing these interests, the three decided to form a band. Practices would occur a few times each week, and various songs would be covered and original ones would be written. Eventually the band played their first show, a battle of the bands, at Vaughan SS in 2003 (which they placed first in, and again in the following year). It was at the auditions for this show that the name “Bolus” was chosen. Bolus is a function of Nick Karch’s insulin pump that he uses for his diabetes. This name fit the interesting and mysterious image of the band.

Once enough songs were created, Bolus decided to put together a recording. In December 2004, Bolus was ready to enter Wit's End Studios to begin recording. In June 2005, recording was completed, making way for mastering and duplication. The album, entitled "Watch Your Step" was released on October 20th 2005, and has been well received by existing Bolus fans and newcomers alike. The band continues to practice, perform, and write new material, in hopes of reaching new heights in musical output and public response.
