Spawned from the Winston-Salem, NC, jangle pop scene in 1985, TB has often taken the route of hip hop, rap, and funk, along with experimental rock. After a long hiatus, they started recording again in 2011 and have recently developed an ear for a melody and a pop hook. The group never meets and records only virtually. They have no plans to tour and will not spend a dime on paid playlists, placement, etc. They use all the platforms but have no allegiance to any of them. "Tender Moments" is 17 songs recorded in the late 1980s that keyboardist Bob Hair recently mastered to sound fresh in 2026. The group has an album's worth of material ready for release but needs to decide on the songs. An EP called Miriam is being contemplated. Another venture of the group, a dance project called "Immigrant Beats" by Loco Domingo, has the group's best contemporary sounds.
