This band was one of my junior high go-tos. They were originally a long distance collab project in 2002 between Paul Meany and Darren King. They met through working together in Meany's previous band called Earthsuit. They started by passing demos back and forth with each adding to it and eventually that transitioned into Math. When Meany's band broke up, the two moved in together in Louisiana. In 2003 they recruited Darren's friend Greg Hill. They changed the name to Mutemath, started an independent record label and partnered with Warner music to release their debut. Thanks to the success of Earthsuit, Mutemath had pretty good success from the start. Their first music video came out on YouTube once that became a thing, and it was a the band playing the song in reverse. It obviously exploded and was featured everywhere. The song it was from was also my first introduction to this band. There was a bit of beef going on with Warner Music over the band being classified as a Christian rock group considering the members didn't think it was such. Regardless of what genre they fall into, I love them and hope you do to.
Peace.
