The Deck was a band formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

After Alex Allen learned guitar, he joined the members of The Elements, which included his brother Drew Allen. This new line-up became known as The Deck. The band name was derived from a deck of cards. However, to the band's disappointment, most people believed the name was in reference to a patio deck. While still in high school, the band performed in the Bishop Kelley's Battle of the Bands contest, ultimately winning first place.

In 2004, the band recorded a three song demo.

After graduation, the band dissolved as some of its members left for college. Alex, Ben, and Drew formed S.W.A.T. Team in 2005 with the addition of a new guitarist. While still performing as S.W.A.T. Team, Nathan rejoined the trio to form the short-lived, Capsule J. In 2011, the former members of Capsule J emerged as The Taylor Machine.
