=Formed in 1999 by Josh James (guitar), Andrew Carey (vocals), Josh "Woody" Willis (guitar), Josh Smith (bass) and Christopher Brown (drums), the band released one Demo-EP and a Split-EP together with Cordelle within the first year of being a band. Within 8 months of the beginning of the band Woody and Josh Smith were replaced by Craig Chaney (guitar/vocals) and Jason Southwell (bass). In 2001 their debut-album Losing All Hope Is Freedom was released via Indianola Records on July 31. Under the same label they released a Split-EP together with xOne Fifthx, on May 20, 2002, titled XOne FifthX vs. Evergreen Terrace. Shortly after the release of the split Josh James (guitar) joined xOne Fifthx and continued playing with Evergreen Terrace.
Later in 2002 they signed with Eulogy Recordings and released their second studio-album Burned Alive by Time on November 26. After a number of long tours they released a cover album titled Writer's Block in February 2004. The album includes songs from bands like U2, Smashing Pumpkins, and Tears for Fears. In July they released At Our Worst which contained live performances, as well as B-Sides from Burned Alive by Time and the 4 tracks from the self-released Demo-EP. At Our Worst was released on Hand of Hope Records, a label started by drummer Chris Brown and Eulogy owner John Wylie. 2004 was also the year the band started touring outside of USA and Canada.
In 2005 they released a live-DVD called Hotter! Wetter! Stickier! Funner! The same year they released their third studio-album entitled Sincerity Is an Easy Disguise in This Business on June 21. Shortly after, drummer Christopher Brown left the band and was replaced by Kyle Mims. The next few years were spent touring non-stop, worldwide. Including tours with As I Lay Dying, Rise Against, Hatebreed and more.

=In the fall of 2012, the band announced via their Facebook page that Josh James has left Evergreen Terrace to play full-time with Stick To Your Guns, ex-bassist Jason Southwell has rejoined the band, and that they have split with Metal Blade Records. They recently signed a label deal with Rise Records.

= Andrew Carey's departure and return
=On June 1, 2015, Andrew Carey announced he had quit Evergreen Terrace after 15 years as their vocalist. A statement from Andrew Carey says "I quit Evergreen Terrace. As Danny Glover would often say in the hit movies from the 90's, Lethal Weapon 1, 2, and 3, 'I'm getting too old for this shit.' Thanks to everyone who supported us throughout the years."
In a statement from Evergreen Terrace on Facebook, they say they have been playing shows without Andrew for 'quite a while'. They cite Andrew's focus on a career in nursing as the reason he hasn't been playing shows with the band but are unclear if his focus on his career is also the reason for him deciding to leave Evergreen Terrace.
As of September 2016, Andrew "Drew" Carey is back in the band. A comment to the band's August 10, 2016 Facebook status update "Riffs... Happening..." made by the band on September 9, 2016, states "Did I mention Andrew is back on vocals?". On April 22, 2017, the band announced in addition to Carey that original drummer Christoper Brown was back in the band, although his return would prove to be short-lived.
In 2018, the ensemble announced that they are working on a new album.
In July 2022, the band started a European tour but bassist Jason Southwell and drummer Brad Moxey were not present. When asked about their absence, the other band members responded by stating that Southwell was still in the band, but sitting the tour out, and that Moxey had "quit music;" ex-Yellowcard drummer Longineu W. Parsons III was hired as Moxey's replacement. On August 3, Moxey released a statement via Lambgoat confirming the band's statement, saying he was focusing on his family.
In September 2024, the band withdrew as the headliner from Shell Shock II after the organizers announced that Kyle Rittenhouse would appear as a special guest. The Orlando, Florida concert is described as a "PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Charity and Awareness event to support our military Veterans and first responders." In a statement, the band indicated they would be personally contributing to unnamed veterans' causes.
