TCP formed in early 2008 when Blake, Henry and Jack crossed paths on the internet within a two week period. Collaboration began as an informal process but shortly after, realization hit that a special chemistry was taking place. As ideas began to flow and music churned out frequently, TCP quickly moved from a tentative phase to a synergistic and energized phase. During this time, music and lyrics remarkably poured out almost uncontrollably. The next 11 months were spent writing and recording the debut album The Way.
