Tim Be Told Releases New Version of “Gravity’s Hold”
To commemorate the release of their sophomore album (Humanity) via digital distributor Bandcamp, band Tim Be Told has included a free bonus track to those that purchase& DL the album from the site. The song in question is “Gravity’s Hold”, originally a song from their debut album Getting By. It’s now been re-tooled a fair amount and can also be purchased as a stand alone single for those who choose to go that route instead. Honestly, it’s rare for me to come across a TBT song that I don’t like – and this one gives me no reason to buck that trend. Take a listen & buy it via the widget below.

Tim Be Told Releases MV for ‘Analyze’
Tim Be Told has dropped the official music video for their single ‘Analyze’ from their EP From the Inside. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs and I’m glad they were finally able to release the video. It’s a pretty neat concept for the video and everything looks real sharp. It would have been nice to see the band in various locales too and not just in the white room but I understand there are constraints to deal with. Sometimes the message is bigger than the art =).
Best of all you can also DL the song for free below!

Tim Be Told Releases Live Footage from Neon Light Sessions
Check out the new footage posted up by Tim Be Told from something they call the Neon Light Sessions. It looks to be a small, intimate concert event. The audio quality is kind of hit or miss since its all coming from the camera mic which is constantly panning. The band sounds great though but it seems like it took a while for the audience to warm up. They sang two of their originals along with a cool cover of Rihanna.
‘Analyze’
‘Collision’
‘Take a Bow’
Note: Don’t forget to check out our exclusive Q&A with the band if you haven’t already.
Tim Be Told Interview w/ Mochi Magazine
Tim Be Told has a new interview out with Mochi Magazine (what an awesome site name!). The feature article is short but gets straight to the point on frontman Tim Ouyang deciding to pursue music despite the cultural misunderstandings between him and his family. It just goes to show that these are a determined group of guys willing to lay down the ground work for future musicians to do their thing too.
You can catch the interview in full after the break. Don’t forget to also check out our own Q&A session with the band.
