Tim Be Told

Tim Be Told is a Contemporary Christian music group that originated in Charlottesville, VA.[1][2] Their musical style incorporates elements of soul, pop, rock, gospel and blues.[3][4][unreliable source?] Their name was derived from the term "truth be told",[5][unreliable source?][6] where honesty is one of the band's focuses.[7] Their goal within the music industry is promote the themes of honesty, hope, redemption, and change.[8] Their fast-growing success[original research?] led them to win the University of Virginia's "Battle of the Bands" competition in 2008.[citation needed] Despite their accomplishments, the band was still somewhat unknown in the traditional communities, including the Christian radio community.[citation needed] However, much of this changed once the track "Analyze", off of their "From the Inside" album grew popular with various Contemporary Christian music outlets, such as the Gospel Music Channel, who used the video for their weekly feature.[9]

Tim Be Told has released two albums. The first was released in 2007, and was titled "Getting By".[10][unreliable source?] Their second album was an EP titled From the Inside, and was released in early 2010.[11][unreliable source?] From the Inside was critically considered to be a leap forward for the band, due to what many considered to be a "more mature sound".[12] After their second album was released, Tim Be Told was featured in Audrey magazine[citation needed] and The Hook Magazine,[13] as well as played regularly on 106.1 the Corner and KBIF.[citation needed] Soon after the band's formation, Tim Be Told became more well known around college campuses, as well as the online Christian community.[14]
