They say that on the titanic as the ship was going down
The band kept playing music even as they started to drown
People today wouldn’t be nearly as tough
I guess back in 1912 they just had the right stuff

If that was me, I wouldn’t have been so composed
If that was me, I would have screamed and said we’re hosed
If that was me, I’m not sure I would have been so stoic
If that was me, I don’t think I could have been that heroic

In the movie Leonaro DiCaprio let his girlfriend float on a door
As he braved the icy water until he couldn’t take it anymore
They say chivalry is dead but he had lots of it that night 
Doing what he could to make sure she’d be alright

Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow
Try to put on a good show
When life deals you a really bad hand
You can play it like those guys in the titanic band

All those people on the titanic
Did it ever occur to them
That in the future people who weren’t even born
And they’d watch a movie about them while they ate popcorn

If that was me, I wouldn’t have been so composed
If that was me, I would have screamed and said we’re hosed
If that was me, and I was a character in the movie about the Titanic
I’d be the guy who was running around the place  in a total panic

I’m glad to be around today
I don’t long for yesterday
Cause life back then was rough
And I’m not very tough

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.
