They released their debut album This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes on DeSoto Records on March 30, 1999. Their second album A Future Lived in Past Tense was released May 8, 2001.

Mt. was formed from the rubble of ctrlaltdelete and, like all geological formations, the band have changed considerably over time. The current line-up consists of brothers Ben and Joe Maxwell, along with Andy Harvey.

Old School Tie

Old School Tie are a four piece instrumental alternative rock band, who are based in Birmingham and Bath. They consist of two sets of brothers who are truly beginning to create a style of their own. Thundering bass lines and frantic yet intelligent drums, intertwine and combine with delicate and emotional guitar melodies, psychedelic synth sounds and beautiful classical piano. This is a band doing something a bit different. Their music aims to make people think and to make people move.
