Formation (2018-2021)
Henry Faust began his musical career in college, when he joined the experimental indie rock group the JFP. In 2019, Faust formed a new group with bandmate Andrew Heiman known as Lime Thunder. The group featured a more dance-oriented sound. In February 2020, Aidan Holmbraker, and old high school friend of Faust's, joined the group on drums, playing alongside Faust for three months before Lime Thunder broke up. Faust and Holmbraker decided to form a new group, inviting their old friend Lulu McDonald to join in on vocals. The group's first lineup was completed with the addition of Forrest Utiger on bass and James Dana on rhythm guitar. The group decided on the name Drifft as a combination of the words "Drift" and "Riff".

Early Years (2021-2024)
Drifft's first live performances took place in the summer of 2021 in Santa Ana, California, often alongside the headlining act Nightair. Initially, Drifft's sound was fast-paced yet lighter and softer, taking on a more dance-rock sound, largely based off the sound of Lime Thunder.
