IS THE PAST BECOMING THE FUTURE ?
    "AFTERMATH"
It used to be so common place
Joker’s smokers - interlopers  
A cheery wave a smiling face 
Spilling beer, and friends so near
We had it all - we found a way around the wall
I suppose one day I’ll make a will
Shoot the moon - enjoy the thrill     
And somehow face my fears 
Over the years so many tears brought on by nightmares 
We once shared
I suppose one day I’ll run away
And if I come back I may not stay
One day a love I’ll lose
I suppose one day I’ll write a song
And everyone will sing along
One day I’ll be alone

AFTERMATH

Music is Life! Play, record, produce,  perform, arrange, listen.✌  ♬ ♩♫ ♩

TBR channels the intimate aesthetic of a solo artist, then puts it through a high-gain filter of grunge and metal. Forget polished studios—TBR delivers a raw, home-brewed sound that captures the grit and energy of garage rock. It’s heavy music with a personal conscience, offering a visceral commentary on modern life and political angst into potent, riff-driven anthems.

TBR’s sound is built on a powerhouse foundation, born from a bass player’s driving, ballsy rhythm section. This core energy is an adrenaline-fuelled blend of trad rock, hardcore punk, and thrash metal ferocity, which later exploded into diverse territories of cutting-edge alt rock and raw acoustic folk. No matter the evolution, that inherent metal edge and electrifying power remain the uncompromising heart of their sound.

However, the true TBR journey ignited during the pandemic, born from a burning need for authentic passion. Disillusioned by cover bands and playing others' songs, reflection forged a new path: the undeniable drive to create something truly their own.

Dive into the powerful debut album, Random Acts!
Forged over 10+ years, this album is a compelling collection of songs that masterfully merges a folky foundation with the raw energy of grunge and garage rock. Experience a sound that is both distinct and timeless, a strong and proud debut standing as a powerful statement from TBR.

However, what came next was the sophomore album; On The Surface. This is not easy listening. This is the sound of breaking points and breakthroughs, a sonic exorcism that rips through years of pain and reclaims the wreckage. On The Surface is an unflinching self-reflection, a time capsule of necessary growth and the tough, brutal road required to finally take control.

The music is a visceral assault, a lo-fi powerhouse that bleeds Grunge's grit, Thrash's fury, Sludge Metal's weight, Garage Rock's swagger, and Post Hardcore's intensity. The influences are worn proudly, but the resulting sound is uniquely its own—raw, self-produced, and pulsating with authentic, untamed energy.

This album weaponizes fear, anger, and self-depreciation, forging them into a liberating and transformative experience. It is the best form of therapy available, a testament to enduring the darkness to find the light. Prepare to face the void and emerge, finally, on the other side.

Get ready for an authentic, impactful musical journey that defines the core of TBR's unique artistry.

MUSIC BIO FOR DR. WALLY J. BARTFAY
Dr. Wally Bartfay is a retired Professor and former Associate Dean (August, 2024) for the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.  He was also affectionately known as the “Rock N’ Prof” by his students because he often played original songs that he has written prior to the commence of lectures to create certain vibes and buzzes in his classes. His music has appeared on Euro Indie Music Chart lists top 1; World Indie Music Chart lists top 1 and 2; BWNR music list top 5, and the US Top 20 Show- Weekly Pulse of Music at No. 18. In 2024, he had 3 No. 1 Indie hits on the Euro Indie Network Music Charts and World Indie Top 100 Music Chart lists with collaborator Stephen Wrench: 1. You're My Beautiful; 2. Little Sunshine Girl and 3. Cherry Hill Gal.  Stephen has been a 6x Grammy Awardee and has won over 50 Gold and Platinum records throughout his career journey that spans 5 decades now. 
I have been invited to appear on several radio stations, music podcasts, YouTube music channels and interviews with music magazines during the past year.  Examples include B-line Entertainment; Phil Kratz Radio Show; Blackdog Indie Country Radio; James Cox Show; Empowerment Divas Network; The Anything Goes Podcast with Duzzy Clayton; Curtis Johnson Music Podcase; Kayden Gordon Show- Today’s Best Country Mix; Radio interview on the Jeff Rickett Show, Country KIX 96.5 FM; Paul Mash TV; Playin’ On Music Row with Fran, and an interview with Fanbase Music Magazine to name but a few.
Ever since Wally was a little lad, he wanted to play the electric guitar and make music that creates smiles on people’s faces. He can remember playing his imaginary electric "air guitar" in his parents’ basement to various rock and country songs for hours on end. He got his first guitar when he turned 14 after taking on various odds jobs including pumping gas on weekends and cutting lawns.  He quickly learned to play it on his very own, along with several other instruments. Wally has also done research related to the benefits of music therapy as a nonpharmacological intervention with patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  He got interested in researching the clinical benefits of music as medicine after his father was diagnosed with vascular dementia following a series of strokes that left him bed bound in a nursing home.  Ironically, this is the same nursing home that he used to put on volunteer Christmas concerts for during his youth in his community. He is passionate about song writing and his songs often reflect personal experiences and challenges that he has faced over the years. Each song contains components of his genuine lived experiences, heart, and soul as an artist.
