Andre and Tony have known each other since ninth grade, and John, Andre and Chris all circled the same music scene for years before finally working together. They’ve always written what comes naturally to them, and that alone makes them stand out, but it seems to be the sheer energy they pound into their instruments that makes them so undeniable.
