Josh Asher (vox) and Andrew Carruthers (bass), originally from PA, met up with SLC, UT natives Dan Whitesides (drums) and Jake Hawley (guitar) in 1999. The thought behind Tntd was to create a band that was melodic and catchy but could still rock your ass. We wanted to keep the music listenable but raw and less produced than a lot of the music in the same genre. The live show is all about just having fun and connecting with the audience... we want everyone to feel the same energy we feel when we play live. That's why we actually prefer not to play on stages 50 feet off the ground where you can't even see the people you are playing for. Our goal with the band is to do as much as possible with our music as long as our original feel and ideas stay intact.
