Changing Tymz - Finish The Race


Driven by the desire to form a band that brought together a unique mix of musicians, Tony Rossi began the long road to what would lead him to Changing Tymz. A journey that required time and patience as the right band would be born in the collaboration of musicians, willing to prove their passion, musical talent, faith, direction and ability to work together as an integral and equal piece of the process. The original line-up itself would take over 3 years.

During this same time period, guitarist Timmy Wysong was looking to find an accomplished drummer to join his former band. Connecting through a music search, Tony submitted an audition piece for the band at Timmy’s request. Although things didn’t work out for the initial project, Tony and Timmy discovered a respect for each other’s talents and decided to begin collaboration.

Adding vocalist Matt Martin to the group, the band was now beginning to take shape and the direction of the band’s sound became clear. Originally striving for a heavier and darker sound, the addition of Matt’s voice and unique style allowed them to dig deeper in the roots of true metal, and melodic fashion to create a mix of modern and classical metal.

All the while, bass player Bryan McQuade was also looking for a solid commitment in an original project. When Changing Tymz and Bryan crossed paths, the band asked him to submit an original bassline for the song "Stand Up". Taking his chances, Bryan sat down to write, submitted a piece … and a bass player was found.

Now at four members strong, all that was needed was another guitarist to add to the line-up. Knowing whoever it was needed to be the right fit, after several auditions and more than a year later, the band finally welcomed Eric Fenton in November of 2019. Five talented musicians, having never met before, all from different backgrounds, cemented by desire and passion for the music is what made this line-up work so well, they officially released their debut self titled EP on February 29, 2020.

January of 2021, Changing Tymz and Matt Martin parted ways and the search for a new vocalist was launched. Again finding the perfect committed fit would take time. After an extensive search and tryout, Joann E Wolfe and Changing Tymz began working on new material, and the melodies and songs just came together like magic. The line-up was again complete.

July 22, 2022 they had their 1st single release with "Shark Attack". Which was the song used for the story-line video later released January 5, 2023.

During this time, due to unforeseen circumstances, Changing Tymz and Eric Fenton parted ways and again a new search began. Working through almost 70 applicants, Brian Weber proved to be the perfect fit and accepted the 2nd guitarist position on February 5th 2023. Brian is aggressively working on all the songs for the debut LP release, "Tymz Up", that we hope to have out in late 2023. Since the original EP was released, Changing Tymz, holding true to the name, has had changes. 

Joann E Wolfe on vocals and Brian Weber on guitar, have given the band a new sound and dynamics. To showcase the changes, we will follow the debut LP "Tymz Up" release with an updated, re-recorded, mixed, and mastered version of the original debut EP!, "Changing Tymz Re-Visited"! Keep your eyes and ears open for future information and releases in 2023, for the world truly has only begun to see the music of Changing Tymz!
