Since it’s formation in ’99, There4 has learned a lot about focus in the face of an ever-evolving music business. Lessons in maintaining musical intensity and creative expansionism, allow this 6-piece to persevere around every corner. Dedication to the goal of winning fans at every show and finding a label that can bring their music to the next level, lie at the core of everything they do. There4’s lineup is a fusion of varying musical tastes and divergent backgrounds. Longtime friends and band mates Jeremy Pace (drums) and Moshe Atzbi (bass) had been writing material alone for years when they met guitarist Joe Bresnick and began to lay down the groundwork for a band. Joe doubled as keyboardist and Moshe as vocalist. After writing a few songs, the three decided that they didn’t have enough hands to properly translate what was in their heads to the stage. The skeletal There4 eventually added vocalist Mike Newton, guitarist Marty Jones, and keyboardist Nick Tomasino to form the current lineup. With each incoming member, There4 cut a new creative facet for itself, with an emphasis on writing as a team. Taking cues from bands like Faith No More and Tool, There4 pushes it’s own creative envelope while staying catchy. Heavy guitars and thick rhythms drive both emotionally sincere and crushingly aggressive vocals. Keyboard work that flows from orchestral harmony to electronic mayhem, highlight darkly introspective lyrics that invite the listener to think about what it is that makes us human, and imperfect.
