HARDCORE MP3's EMAIL TIME HAS COME |
BAND HISTORY
Time Has Come is based out of Mansfield, Ohio and have been a band since July of '97. Before that Chris, Scott, and Keith (all from Mansfield, 60 miles north of Columbus and 70 miles south of Cleveland) started a band called Hostile Environment back in '94. They released a 7 song CD, and about the only highlight was the trip to NYC to play at CBGB's with H2O, then after a little break-up in early '96 because of the direction the band was going plus the scene was getting old! Then they got T- (Terry, from Mansfield) in the band to head into the direction they wanted. They wrote a few songs and recorded a 5-song demo, then began their hardcore journey. After a busy '96, which included alot of cool shows, and one with Madball they added another guitarist-Downtown Tony Brown in early '97. Tony (from West Salem, Ohio) played in Face Value for around 6 years, then he joined T H C.
In '97 they did some shows with Warzone and Murphy's Law and wrote many songs and didn't play in Mansfield for over a year, then towards the end of '97 they went into Mars Studio to record a 10 song demo. Late that year they played with Agnostic Front, this gig got them shows with alot of great bands all over Ohio, Kentucky and maybe some future shows in the Detroit area. A few months after the 10-song demo was recorded the band went back in to record 5 more tunes. In '98 they would finally get a deal from C.I. Records which released two 4 song 7 inches in 1999 & 2000. The summer of 1999 T H C Recorded 8 new songs that appear on the 22 song CD "Taught By The Best" then in 2000 recorded and released a 3 song CD/EP titled "Work, Drink, Play." Late in the year 2000 "Downtown" Tony Brown decided to leave the band for personal reasons, we all wish him the best. T H C will continue to live on.....
