They Came Bearing Arms is a 5-piece unit out of Louisville, KY. Since their formation in May of 2009, they have released a five song 'self-titled' EP, three single releases, and have just finished recording their sophomore EP entitled The Return. In an ever-evolving music platform where bands are becoming more and more indistinguishable, TCBA aims to break through the mold with their approach to songwriting. The music features traditional elements; heavy breakdowns, intense drums, fast riffs, and melodic choruses... but each flavored with an exciting new sound, unique to TCBA. Each song has it's own sound and message to be conveyed, and I like to leave the lyrics open to interpretation so people can relate it to their own lives. - Mike (vocalist). The band has also stepped it up instrumentally since their conception. The melodies and riffs from 'The Return' are easily the most demanding material we've ever written, and we couldn't be more excited for everyone to hear it. We hope they enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed making it. - Loren (vocalist\u002Fguitarist).
