Tobias

There are multiple Tobiases. (1) TOBIAS hails from Sioux Falls, SD, and the mastermind behind it is the epynonymous Tobias. Tobias's first encounter with music began at local screamo shows in the mid-90s, where he encountered screamo legends like Spirit of Versailles. Some years later, Tobias came to recognize that all emo/screamo thereafter failed to live up to the heart-wrenching sincerity the mid-90s acts. Scholars recognize this as 'phase one' of his musical becoming, as this agitated Tobias much and would eventually lead to his musical efforts, recorded as TOBIAS.
