Tim Be Told is a 5 piece songwriting power house, whose sound I can’t stop comparing to a more soulful Maroon 5 or The Fray.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview them! More »

It might have to do with this song being super catchy!!! I also kind of think the voices are cute!!! More »
