TOP STORIES
Priding themselves on an overproof cocktail of charm, ability and conviction, TLM are poised for an imminent and hostile take over of the rock and roll world. Ever since their brutal introduction to rock and roll at an Alice Cooper concert at the tender ages of 8 and 6, brothers Joel and Jordan immediately knew their calling. In a story similar to Alex and Eddie from VH, and Vinnie and Dimebag, from Pantera, the two brothers immediately formed a courtship of guitar and drums. A kindred songwriting partnership ensued.
By their late teens, Joel had acquired a jaw-dropping & ultra tough guitar strength, and Jordan, an authorative, and highly theatrical drumming style. With their vision and capabilities firmly in place, the boys needed a band.
Bass player Bobby Poulton was first to answer the call. With his virtuoso approach, and just the right amount of swagger and groove, he slid into the mould perfectly. With the musical backbone of the band now complete, the band undertook what would be the most testing and disillusioning task of their career to date - finding a singer!
During this period, the boys honed their live chops with a borrowed singer, playing a handful of blistering shows around Sydney. Receiving an amazing response (and no less than 3 management offers after their debut show), the urgency of finding the right and permanent front man became critical.
Enter Simon Hill, an old school friend of Jordan's, who offered to audition. Amazingly, Simon's dark and romantic singing style added an awesome, heavy and modern flavour. Furthermore, shooting a potent surge of confidence and hunger into the band.
Vivid and electric, TLM weld their aggressive approach with a fine tuned sensibility and musical craftsmanship. Armed with their youth, looks, frightening musical capabilities, and tenacious work ethic, TLM look forward to being the most scorching rock act on the planet.
