The band was formed in late 2008 by founding members MS. (Charm Taylor), an accomplished educator, vocalist/songwriter and Matthew Rosenbeck, a credited videographer, composer, and guitarist. Since then, THS has steadily refined and developed a progressively sharpened and unique indie and afro-rock sound that is reminiscent of the eclectic blend of Modest Mouse, the raw rock anthem energy of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the feel good verse of Outkast, and the soulful commentary of Nina Simone. THS has evolved to include noted and highly regarded New Orleans percussionist Jamal Batiste (of Jam-All Productions), and producer, guitarist, and musical extraordinaire Danny Kartel (DKNO production credits with a wide variety of artists including the late Soulja Slim, Juvenile, Mystikal), and bassist/songwriter Charles Lumar II. Together, they have constructed a sound and a built a movement which has continued to gain momentum since their establishment as a permanent line up in early 2010.Their first release, the “Dirty in the Light” EP of 2009, affirmatively put the talent and potential of the group on display, and it was a year which saw the band hone their craft playing shows and sets across different venues in the city, and garner sales on the street locally and as far away as the U.K and Japan. The record was characterized by a raw electro-rock feel, and featured singles like “Oh You Call”, “Pressure”, and “Machine”. Throughout this time, the band produced several videos and continued to write new songs in anticipation of recording their first full-length record. More recently, their talents have been recognized by The Libertines drummer and CEO of 25 Hour Convenience Store Records Gary Powell, in an interview with the publication Culture Deluxe Magazine, who stated, they are “an absolute genius sounding band led by an enigmatic female lead singer. They are really adventurous with their approach to writing and performing…” (you read it in full here).2012 finds the band embarking upon a major multi-city U.S. tour and promoting the release of their locally anticipated record,“I Love My Tribe”.
