Just wanted to take a few minutes to say hello quickly. As the singer/frontman for the band, I suppose mine tend to be the thoughts and voice that is heard the most, so I'm glad that this will be an opportunity for the other members of TWBM to speak. I've never meant for this to be a musical dictatorship, but a group of people who enjoy each others' company enough to make music together. While my voice tends to be stronger, as the lyricist and all, I think it's important that all of us--John, Will and Dan--all get to speak.
All this to say: welcome to our blog. We hope you come back and see how things are going in TWBM land. We are so thrilled to make music for you and cannot thank you enough for the support. Don't forget to check out the links to buy our albums and keep checking back for show dates, etc. Thanks again and God bless!

The TWBM cliche post
How else do we start a new blog but with a cliche opener?
If you're on this page, hopefully you're also a fan or wanting to check out new music. Either way, we're glad you came by and hope you continue to visit. Make sure you check the cool tabs right under that enormous picture (which happens to be the new album cover) and see our discography, music videos and more.
This blog will be dedicated to sharing details about the band, our upcoming shows, ways to meet and connect, ever changing gear lists, inspirational stories, and the obligatory random thought.
I'm starting this blog today, May 30th 2012, just 3 days after our sophomore album release, Separation Anxiety, available for download HERE.
The band's undergone a lot of changes since I joined last year, and the music has evolved in a natural, organic way. I think our growth is evident in the cd and whether vocally or musically, you can hear our hearts being poured in.
My good friend and TWBM front man, Robert Morrison, has said he just wants to make music. Hard or soft, loud or quiet, fast or slow, it doesn't really matter: he just wants to be a part of the community he loves so much. Like many artists, music serves as an outlet for creativity and emotional venting. But don't bother with a rather overused, well-known three letter term. To Robert, its just about making something worth singing.
"I want my music to be enjoyable," he says, "but in the end, it really comes down to 'Is this working for me? Am I happy with this?' If not, then what's the point"..

I guess the real cliche is that I recognize saying it's a cliche is a cliche, right?
