About Way Yes
Way Yes was an Indie Rock band from Columbus, Ohio. Band members included Glenn Davis, Travis Hall, Maxwell Lewis, and Tim Horak. The band formed in 2010 with Glenn Davis on bass, Travis Hall on guitar, and Dylan Meister on percussion. Under this lineup, the band released Herringbone, an Indie Pop EP with feel good vibes. Later that year, Meister departed the band and was replaced by Maxwell Lewis and Tim Horak, who were both drummers. The band worked on releasing their next EP and single, Walkability and Oranjudio. The new releases displayed a more percussion heavy sound, darker lyrics, and instrumentation changes with Glenn Davis moving from bass to guitar. In 2012, the band took to the studio to record Tog Pebbles. The album gave a more tropical sound to their previous work, while still providing the feel good vibes with a dark twist and percussion heavy sound. The band self described the album as Beach Goth, stating "Listening to Tog Pebbles is like attending a funeral on a beach. The funeral is for someone you only met once, but the beach, oh my God, the beach… It is something to see." During extensive touring and recording throughout 2014 and 2015, the band had written a whole sophomore album, Tuna Hair, but were so creatively drained that they decided to shelve the album for multiple years without being released. Two years later, the band did release the album digitally, as it was easier to handle finances. The album featured a more mature sound, with the lyrics revolving around death. Since the recording of Tuna Hair, the band have parted ways. Glenn Davis is now releasing music as a solo act and Maxwell Lewis is currently releasing music as Max Deadroom. In 2023, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Tog Pebbles, Maxwell Lewis took an old drum recording he made with Tim Horak from around the time the album was recorded and reworked into a new song, publishing it under the name ICE LVL.
