Tin Armor – A Better Place Than I Have Been LP

"The Columbus, Ohio trio Tin Armor constructs solid, well-executed power pop. With band members balancing time between Dungeons and Dragons, going to class, and working jobs, they manage to create a sound that is both familiar and entirely original.

While the songs on their album A Better Place Than I Have Been are economical, with an average length of about two minutes, the band doesn't waste any time delivering interesting breaks, great melodies, and dynamic tempos. Tin Armor writes classic ballads about relationships. On the featured track, "Losing Proposition", Matt Ulmand's vocals peak with "don't say it is inevitable because you've got a heart, I've got one too."

Although Tin Armor says they're not a band with a plan, their fundamental approach to writing pop music is a straight road. Guitarist Matt Umland explains, "There is no grand design for our 'sophomore release' or a scheduled reinvention of ourselves after a near fatal accident/spiritual awakening. For the time being, we are making records and playing shows"." - NPR
