thegreatphysician asked: If you guys ever wanna...you know... conveniently ~drift over to NYC and, I don't know, play an all ages show. I'd dig it. I'd be there. I mean no big deal. Kind of maybe. But seriously. We would love to have you. We miss you :/
Anonymous asked: Hey guys, i know you get this a lot but i wanna say that your music is really awesome and inspirational for a young musician such as myself. I have two questions for you guys. The first is, is there any meaning behind the song Dead Men Tell No Tales or it just another mind blowing track for BTHATS. Secondly, do you guys have any idea when the re-release CD will be available in Australia?

Much love
This post is simply to appreciate how great you guys are as a band. Number one, I love how your music evolved/changed over time and through losing and replacing a band member. A think most bands struggle to change their sound these days, or come up with something new, but you guys always created something so fresh. The 2nd LP was so much different and dynamic than BTHATS, and some people I knew...
stringsandjoints asked: Hey dudes.. so i know you guys dont have all the deets as to whats gonna be included in the packages as of yet, but do you know if you are planning on doing the LP in color(s)?? that would be awesome and i would buy every one.
i pretty much love you guys. thats it. i just needed to tell you. i actually have some old photos from the beat kitchen in chicago of you guys. i just need to find them haha once i do ill post them.
Anonymous asked: Hi I'd like to start off by saying I'm a huge fan and I was wondering that after you guys finished BTHATS were you aware that you created something really unique and special? Because in my opinion what you guys created was something very intricate, deep, and meaningful lyrically and musically something unique and amazing that separated you from every other genre out there. I wish the...
Brendan, thanks for answering the Sagan question. I probably have about 30 sort of ‘off-the-wall’ questions like that, many of which I’m guessing nobody’s asked.. but then I’d take up the whole page. Unless of course you’d want to do some kind of interview / AIM chat / email chat thing :)
Anyway.. as you enjoy the Pale Blue Dot imagry and the associated...
Anonymous asked: Hey Guys,
Just reminiscing over the past (kinda scary) almost 8 years? and I was re-watching the old videos on youtube from Ben's last show and had a couple questions that I don't know how I never noticed until now.
Right in the beginning of the videos and then for the intro I hear Alex play the first lick to "Planning A Prison Break" and then the intro was...

Anonymous asked: To BBrown. I know you enjoy C.S Lewis a lot, and I am trying to start reading my first work of his. For someone who has not read his material before, "The Screwtape Letters" got my eye with a very interesting plot. For this is my first Lewis experience, do you recommend that one as a good one to start with?

Can you please make whatever is done of the Sleep EP available for download somewhere?

snackpak asked: I'm a huge fan, saw you guys in Syracuse, NY a few years ago and fell in love with the music. You guys won me over with stage presence and the way you present and play your music is amazing. I went out and bought the albums and fell in love. I almost feel bad when I don't listen to the whole albums each time because the albums feel like they deserve to be heard from start to finish. The...
Anonymous asked: First of all, I'm gonna be joining the bandwagon by telling you all how;
upon discovering you lot, the way I see and hear modern music today has changed dramatically, you are the best thing since sliced bread, The Beatles have nothing on you, The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi is the best album I have ever heard, I love you that much I'm contemplating tatooing myself with a symbol...

Multiple questions..
If I remember correctly, the BTHATS lyrics were mostly written by Brendan and Casey. On MiFaMi, was it mostly just Brendan or did the other guys contribute more into it? How’s the lyric writing on the new song working?
Second, as a diehard fan who happens to be an Atheist, I’ve always found it very odd that an album with as much Christian philosophy / influence (CS Lewis etc) as...
Anonymous asked: whats the best place website to get treos merch?
Anonymous asked: With regards to the Sleep EP (SleEP?), I must say that my main affection for TREOS has been the ambient and experimental tracks. I secretly snuck in "Transition One" into my regular BTHATS listening and "The Philosophical Arm" is my prelude to TESMFM - not to mention tracks like "Intermission", "Epilogue", "Music of the Spheres" and "Pale...

thisshouldbedeep-deactivated201 asked: Hi, I've been a huge fan of your band for years, and I was wondering,
is your music lyrically based around poetry? If so, what poets/movements of poetry do you guys prefer? If not, what things do you specifically look to for inspiration besides other music (books/movies/other)?
Thanks,

brightandbroken asked: I just wanted to say that I am really looking forward to hearing the sleep songs!! I love when bands come up with really cool ideas and concepts like that. It reminds me of Thrice's Alchemy Index idea, which I really digged. Anyways my question is, I know you are all good friends with Strangeway recording in Providence but have you ever thought to try recording some of this experimental stuff...
The Tattoo Post
I saw the tattoo post and had to share this. I designed this tattoo for a guy named Jessie who loves TREOS as much as I do. We actually started talking online after I posted a bunch of stuff at songmeanings.com about TREOS songs. He lives in Virginia and I’ve never met him but he has a tattoo inked on him that I designed. It’s the planet Earth (as shown on the Mi Fa Mi cover) with a...
Anonymous asked: Firstly I just want to say that I like every other TREOS fan, am super excited to hear the new song. I saw you guys when you played Give It A Name festival in the UK. I had listened to you before it but not properly, but when you played it was just mindblowing. I had to get both albums after that and you have since become one of the most inspiring bands I've ever listened to. So obviously I...
absenthearts asked: Just read the below post about becoming a band again. I think it's great that you are getting back into writing and playing music again, even if it doesn't result in playing live.
How much do you enjoy the live setting though? I've never toured before but I can imagine it'd be seriously taxing and time-consuming.

daveruni asked: So I've worn out 3 BTHATS CD's in my car since I started listening to you guys when it first came out. Any chance the vinyl will come with another copy of the CD like the TESMFM vinyl did?

andrewiii asked: So I see that in the official announcement for the BTHATS vinyl says that it will include a download card for a new track, which is totally awesome, but it also mentions live videos. Are these the videos from the farewell show at Lupos? I guess what I'm wondering is will the live videos included in the download take the place of the DVD that was originally planned? Thanks!
P.S....

Anonymous asked: Best concert ever been to?
Hey, so i’m confused about somethings, so i’m just gonna list them off and you can just answer whatever ones you want, or none at all. First off, are you guys still technically “broken up” since you are still making music, i mean how would you describe the band’s situation? We are friends who remember how much they liked making music together and decided to jam again...
eatbreathemusic asked: I've loved you guys for a few years and it was such a dream to make the drive from Philly to Mass. to see you guys play at Skatefest in May.

TREOS tattoos
so i am new to your page, but have been a treos fan for years and years and years..unfortunately i never got to see you live, which would have been amazing. “between the heart and synapse” is basically one of the greatest albums of all time. anyway, to the point, treos was a big part our life(me, my buddy eric and austin)..when you guys broke up, eric got an epic tattoo of the cover of...
breathingblue asked: This is probably not gonna get answered cause I feel like whenever I ask a question to any band they're way to cool to answer but I hope you guys aren't... This may seem kind of dumb or obvious to ask but honestly I still don't know... Why don't you guys get back together and record an ep or something? Like you're doing all this and re-releasing an album, why not just try...
Thoughts on Ambient/Sleep Album.
This album is exactly what I have been looking for and hoping a band of your caliber would put out. On long treks through the wilderness there is no better feeling than being able to sit on a cliff and be able to listen to something so soothing and calming as this. This is music at its finest and purest. A real intent behind it that brings a feeling that is almost out-of-body over you. I am...

jagthedormers-deactivated201201 asked: If anyone other than Brian saw my question first they would've be quite aware of my sarcasm in my "self indulgent" question. I was around a lot in the formative years and even though we've met a couple times I am sorry I never got to know Brian. From what the other guys in the band have said to me he is a great guy and a great musician.
jagthedormers-deactivated201201 asked: Isn't this becoming a bit self indulgent?
WatchAlex and Brendan listening back to a day’s work of bass and guitar ripping, shredding and jamming. Nate, Brian and Casey’s parts are much cooler but someone’s got to lay the foundation.

WatchFirst review of New TREOS Song…
I just want to say your band is one of the biggest influences on everything in my life… The way I view things, the way I listen, all I want to say is Thank you for your music.
I look at your band as I do with At the Drive-In and The Fall of Troy…sad when it ended but beautiful to watch and listen. And I think to many people don’t appreciate your band when it was in full bloom....
ashurmusic-deactivated20121014 asked: How's The Recording Experience On "Something new" going? (bad attempt). Also, could the success of the song and re-release motivate you guys to somehow push for a new EP/LP (no matter how long it takes)? PS. You're previous video on YouTube can't be viewed for some reason =[

iamerik-deactivated20120115 asked: In response to what you said about the friction between your heart and your mind. I feel that daily. This i believe is why TREOS will always truly mean so much to me.
now on to the question:
Is there any band in recent time (say last 3-4 years) you feel delivers the same amount of effort into and sound that TREOS does?
I have only found that Thrice...

clevercomposition asked: i can second the person who said ryan hunter/anthony green guest vocals...that would be awesome. (not to mention that i've had this little hope of singing with you guys sometime for awhile now...but seeing as you guys don't tour anymore i've settled on doing a killer treos cover one day.) so stoked no matter what though.
