TCP formed in early 2008 when Blake, Henry and Jack crossed paths on the internet within a two week period. Collaboration began as an informal process but shortly after, realization hit that a special chemistry was taking place. As ideas began to flow and music churned out frequently, TCP quickly moved from a tentative phase to a synergistic and energized phase. During this time, music and lyrics remarkably poured out almost uncontrollably. The next 11 months were spent writing and recording the debut album The Way.
The band’s release of the album in May 2009 on the 10T label showcase their flair for big music, dramatic twists, and dynamics ranging from serene to heavy. Having received acclaim by astute fans and music critics worldwide, many see this album as the happy marriage of 70’s old school art rock and modern progrock - an assessment the band doesn’t dispute.| |2011 saw the release of the band’s second album, Fantastic Dreamer, with multiple music critics early nominations for Prog Album of 2011.
Band influences are considerable, but among the top inspirations the band cites: early Genesis, King Crimson, Beardfish, Riverside, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Porcupine Tree, Primus, Kansas, Spock’s Beard, Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush. |
