Towers Thick Walls

Pronounced 'Towers Thick Walls'

About Me

Matt, Aaron, and Elliot have been in a band since the end of seventh grade (June '01). They recorded The Tanning in the Headlights EP for Afternoon Records under the name "Peace Love and the Common Cold" two years later. After the record's release, PLATCC's sound quickly evolved into something darker and more spastic, though no less melodic. We changed our name to "TOWERS THICK WALLS" to signify this change. After the name change, we enlisted Seff as a second guitarist, and got in touch with Knol Tate (of Askeleton), and he recorded our full length debut record, out April 17. Now dance, monkey.

we're going to probably go and do some demos of the new material we've been working on, so maybe, just maybe, there'll be a new rough demo of a new song up in a wee little while. ttw
