2011–2013: Early years
Eddie Anthony and Edan Chai Dover formed the group in 2011, previously working together as a songwriting duo, and made collaborative demos released on SoundCloud. In 2012 the band released two singles, "Dancing Shoes" and "Don't Wanna Wake Up", on their YouTube channel. They announced that their debut EP would come out in early 2013.
In 2013 the band released a cover of "Sweet Nothing" by Calvin Harris on YouTube. They started making covers every Sunday and releasing them on YouTube as a free download. The covers were called ScoreSundays. They released their lead single to their debut EP, "Not Just Another Way", in early 2013. Not long after the single's release their debut EP was canceled. It is unknown why that happened and what the EP was going to be called. The only thing known was that it was intended to feature "Not Just Another Way", and unreleased demos including "Hit List", "4 AM", and "Almost".
2014–2015: The Score EP, The Score EP 2, Where Do You Run EP, and singles
The Score released their debut EP, The Score EP, in 2014, which features earlier songs, "Dancing Shoes" and "Don't Wanna Wake Up". The EP also contained their earlier released covers of "Say Something" and "Holy Grail" as bonus tracks, as well as new songs, "Til The Stars Burn Blue", "Haunted", and "This Beating Heart," and a ScoreSundays acoustic version of "Dancing Shoes". The Score continued to release weekly ScoreSundays throughout the year.
The Score announce the release of their second EP, The Score EP 2, in 2015 with the lead single, "Better Than One". The EP included tracks "Lost You", "Fall For Me", featuring Kate Lynne Logan, "In The Dark", "Real Life", and a remix of "Lost You" with Wavve Pilot.
The duo gained recognition in early 2015, when the British supermarket chain Asda used their single "Oh My Love" in a major advertising campaign titled "Save Money, Live Better". According to Asda, part of the reason why they selected the song was because "they were unsigned and unknown".[3] The song's placement in the advertisement helped The Score gain recognition and "Oh My Love" went to No. 43 on the UK Singles Chart in July 2015. In the same year, the track became the most-detected song from an advertisement on Shazam.[4] The song appeared in the 2015 film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip. The Score released a single, "Catching Fire", shortly after the release of Oh My Love.
After the success of "Oh My Love", The Score signed a record deal with Republic Records. They released their extended play, Where Do You Run, in September 2015.[5] The Score released their cover of Post Malone's song "White Iverson" shortly afterwards.

2022-Present: Hiatus and Last Legends
From the release of Bad Days until December 2023, The Score stopped releasing new music and instead their members began to work with other artists due to internal issues. During tours in 2022, Edan had family situations and the pair called off multiple concerts as a result. Fans still wonder why it took them over a year to release "Deep End", which was released in December 2023.[citation needed]
In 2023, Edan Dover started collaborating with other artists under the name "EDVN". Some artists he released songs with include Zayde Wolf and Sam Tinnesz. On August 1, 2023, it was announced that their songs "Legend" and "Unstoppable" had both reached RIAA Platinum, their biggest hits to date.[19] After a hiatus, the band released "Deep End" on December 1, 2023, followed by "Survivor" on January 26, 2024, "Down With The Wolves" with 2WEI on March 22, "Power" on May 17, "Don't Need A Hero" on July 12, and "Visions" on September 6, 2024, all of which, except for "Deep End", were included in their fourth album.
On January 1, 2024, Eddie Anthony Ramirez announced that he would be releasing music as part of a new band called "Unroyal". Edan was notably absent from this, sparking rumors of a conflict between the two. In April 2024, Edan Dover began releasing music under the name "DEANE", while continuing to release as "EDVN".
On October 4, 2024, the band announced their fourth, full length album Last Legends, which they released on November 8, 2024.[20] The band released "Fighting For", "Better Days", "Redemption Song", and "Superhuman" as well with the album.
