If you took Relient K and put them in a blender with Treaty of Paris, Yellowcard, and New Found Glory you might come close to the insane talent packed into the Boyd brother’s band 3Union.  Warped Tour is where you would expect to find a group like this and it has even been a jumping off point for thousands of bands in it’s ten years of touring.   Still, I am not sure talent of this magnitude needs a jumping off point with lyrics and vocals like this.
I have not heard this album in over a week and I am still singing the lyrics from track one to ten.  Their debut album, “Say It Now,” grabs a hold of you, pulls you tight, and won’t let go.  You will hit repeat time and time again and wonder why you have not heard of these guys before now.  They sing songs that appear to come from experience and tragedy, but when you realize how young they are you might change your mind.  The fact that they can come up with lyrics packed with heartbreak and heartache at this stage in their careers opens a lot of doors to their futures.
When first thinking about boy bands, or even family bands for that matter, your mind tends to go straight to the likes of N’Sync and The Jonas Brothers.  Don’t get me wrong; I am a huge fan of songs like “Bye Bye Bye” and “Burning Up,” but when listening to 3Union you do not think about sitting around the dinner table and having story time, you think of jumping up and down screaming for one more song with your closest friends.  These lyrics develop an emotion that can reach an epic level in three minutes.  Their sound fits a mold that has been built by hundreds of bands in the past.  That is not what makes this album and these boys scream out for MTV.  Their ability to take a sound that has already made a name for itself in this competitive market and make it their own, to bring their own interpretation on this genre, and to make you demand for more once the album is over, is what will take these boys as far as they want to go.
This is the band’s debut album, and the only thing that keeps this album out of the perfect category is the number of songs.  There are only ten tracks and if I have ever said that an album leaves me wanting more it is this one.  Working with John David Webster, a genius in his own right, they have managed to put together a Best Buy sound with a Warped Tour mentality.  I dare you to listen to this album and not tap your foot and wave your arms in the air.  When it’s over try and not hit repeat.  This album is not only packed with incredible music but is also an addiction that I can’t seem to quit.

Anna is an indie folk singer/songwriter based out of Dallas, TX. Her upbringing in the wide, empty desert of far west Texas brings a unique perspective and openness to her lyrics, while her love of the bustle and busyness of her city makes itself known in her instantly singable pop-influenced melodies. A self described "chronic optimist," Anna finds the magnificent in the mundane, and showcases that in her music.
"All around us are things that deserved to be noticed. Trees, a sidewalk, and most importantly, people. I want to tell the overlooked stories that make up the fabric of who we are."
Described as "eclectic indie pop/rock" her music transcends genres to offer something that she hopes everyone can relate to. 

Fingers bleeding, sweat dripping and the loudest music ever played in a crowded bedroom. As the song ends, four brothers open their eyes and realize they are still in a small bedroom; but for a moment, in their minds, they were performing in front of thousands. Band practice comes to an end and they pack up their dream and get washed up for dinner. But Them Morris Boys are not just another "Garage Band", they are brothers, with music as tight as their bond; and though they dream of great success, it is and always will be about the music and family for TMB.

Them Morris Boys' father was a small town, guitar picking preacher and their mother, a stay at home mom. They are four of seven children who grew up in a musical family. “Being a part of such a big family, times weren't always easy. Though we never did without, you didn't always get everything you wanted”, says TMB guitar player, Micah Morris. Them Morris Boys' musical journey began with the love of their granddad who left their father with an inheritance when he passed away. Their father took that inheritance and bought each of them their first instrument for the biggest Christmas they can ever remember. As soon as the instruments were unwrapped, practice began; as soon as practice began, the flame was lit. The oldest of TMB and the drummer says, “From then on, no matter what we went through, we always had music and we always had each other”. It's hard to tell if the brotherhood is what makes the music so great, or if the music is what really solidifies their bond, but as the youngest of the group, bassist Morgan Morris, will tell you, “They work together and feed off of each other”, which creates the unstoppable and unbelievably talented force that is Them Morris Boys.

Them Morris Boys have recently experienced significant success. They signed a recording contract with Phoenix Record Group, went to Nashville, and released their first album which is now available on iTunes, Amazon and other music downloading websites. Although the list of their goals is about a mile long, for Them Morris Boys, it is and always will be about the music and the bond they share.
