Somehow never seen them live

I first heard TTMT on purevolume years ago and liked what I heard. A couple years later I got their album, "Life of the Party" and fell in love with it. Later they followed that up very well with "Part of the Problem". They have always struggled to be active with members always coming and going, but still are together in some sense. The last time they were supposed to come to Jersey they had to cancel the show. I hope I one day see them.





Up Next: Irish people!
