Brendan and Sean were born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and were fortunate to grow up as children of the 80s, the heyday of music videos. Both spent countless hours in the living room, in front of a bubble screen television watching music videos on MTV and VH1. Brendan learned to play the guitar at 17 and Sean began playing bass at 19. At first, they were thrilled to play songs by their favorite bands. It wasn’t until their late twenties that Sean and Brendan wanted to write their own music.  

Over the course of 15 years, Brendan and Sean began writing many songs. Endless hours were spent writing lyrics, melodies, bass lines, and guitar parts. Determined more than ever, Brendan and Sean started recording the album in April of 2024. Three months later, the album was finished. On July 18th, Friends of Tovah was uploaded on all streaming platforms.
