About Me

Are you ready for the next big thing to come out of the Windy City? Best Days Behind is a Chicago-based powerpop group that is all about melody, the hook, the show, and the feeling! One listen to a song and you'll be humming it throughout the day. One trip to a show, and you'll feel the excitement and the power. But most importantly, this is what we love doing! Making music that is catchy, fun, and true to the heart without selling out. "Thoughts and Songs and Sing-A-Longs is a 33 minute powerpop explosion that combines indelible vocal melodies with pure pop rock music!
The band was started years ago by frontmen Eli and Timm, who had just disbanded their previous group and were looking for a fresh start. Stumbling upon drummer Aaron Keefner, they had finally found the missing piece to their puzzle. This trio ignited like wild fire and the band took off on the road and began writing and recording their best material to date. As Best Days Behind entered the studio to record "Thoughts and Song and Sing-A-Longs", so enters Brad. Having recently lost their 2nd guitarist, there was an opening, and Brad literally joined in the studio, and even threw down some tracks on the album. At that point, the band took the form it had been needing all along. And so they went on a rampage, playing every venue, club, coffeehouse, bar mitzvah, company picnic, or retirement party they could, bringing a new breed of high-energy performances on their way.
Are you ready?
