Atlanta’s The Modern Society was formed three years ago by front man Woody Brown and lead guitarist Tyler Bence over shared musical passions. The two had first met while playing in different area bands and when they joined up, they immediately began finishing each other’s songs.
Bence knew Chris Martin (not that one) and Thomas Carter since high school, where they’d all met through their various bands, and he brought them to play one night. Ask Brown how it all came together and he can’t really explain…they simply met and practiced together only once to discover it felt like they’d known each other their entire lives.
After recording five demos and sharing them online to a good response, the band booked their first show with no expectations only to have close to 400 kids show up to hear them. By their third show The Modern Society was nominated for several Atlanta Music Guide awards and shortly thereafter entered the studio to record their debut. The guys are currently touring the US and will be stopping by Philadelphia’s The Khyber tomorrow night as they make their way along the East Coast.
