Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
One day, Andrew, Stephen and Jackson were waiting in the music room for Taylor so they could have Citizen Arrest practice. Taylor never showed up, and the three of them were sitting there with a recorder and a tape player. Stephen began to stomp his feet, Andrew played the recorder, and Jackson freestyled lyrics. Stephen suggested the name and on September 26th, 2007, Thriller Benthouse was born.
