Meet Nick (vocals), Dan (bass), Josh (guitar/vocals), JJ (guitar/screams/BG vocals) and Travis (drums/tamborine), five guys from Cincinnati, Ohio, who were inspired by their hardships to write their first album telling the story which lead them to chase their dream and undying passion to make music.

With heartfelt messages through their songs and exceptional live performance, they have managed to make instant fans all over the US and abroad without any backing from a label or distribution company. CTH is the perfect example of the “DIY” band that will soar to great heights under any circumstance only to do what they love!

During their first nation wide tour, their bassist Brad Andress had a cancer relapse. The rest of the guys pulled their money together and flew Brad back home, canceled the rest of the tour and returned home to be with Brad. Unfortunately, Brad lost his battle with cancer at the age of 20 on October 6, 2006. In December of that year the band released a tribute album, which consisted of song by other bands that were close friends of Brad.

Line up changes through the years:
2003 - Self Titled Release
Ben (vocals)
Josh (guitar)

    Sink or Swim is the only good track on the album. Why couldn't the rest of the album be like that song?

    Sunday evening

    I'm glad they have a new vocalist on board, the one weak point about this band was their old vocalist. Instrumentally they were good.
