Can you tell us a bit about the formation of your band, and when you started officially recording albums as your own band? My first album was entitled "Without Warning" and it was recorded in 2008. That particular album was comprised of all star musicians, Dan Lavery (TONIC) Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction) Bruce Kulick (KISS). As soon as I started touring, it has been a revolving door of band members. Currently, TNB has been cherry picked from other groups: Matt Kennedy (the Graduate) Dylan Halacy (Bleu) and Clint Fowler (Automatic Loveletter).
Can you tell us about the bands that have influenced you whilst writing your material, and the sound you wanted to go for when you first started the band? I grew up listening to classic rock and 90's grunge. I've also strived to follow in the footsteps of Switchfoot and the Foo Fighters.
How did your recent tour go here in the UK, and how happy are you with the response you received from this experience? The shows have been amazing. I've really been humbled by the attention that the audiences have been giving us. It's always a nice feeling to have people actually listen and enjoy our original music that they've never heard before. I mean, it's not like our music is in heavy rotation on the radio... yet.
