As TANDM, lead vocalist/guitarist Maxine Beck-Sinderby and drummer Thomas Franklin create music that weaves stories around the complexities of life. From personal pleasures and conflicts to the flaws in society encountered in young adulthood, TANDM’s upbeat sounds, vivid narratives and captivating melodies create a bittersweet and memorable experience for the audience that echoes long after a first listen.

The duo’s confident, fast-paced new single, “Earthworm (2020 Remastered),” serves as a rebuttal to the people who do not believe music-making to be a professional career, or do not believe in a musician’s ability to succeed.
