in the Fall of 1999 Tim Bender replaced original drummer Jarrod Alexander in Death Bby Stereo when the latter decided to move to Boston to pursue music full time at the Berklee School Of Music.
Bender finished their tour in 1999 and started recording their second album in May of 2000. The record finally came out in January of 2001 after an anxious wait. However, in the Spring of 2001 the band decided to part ways with Tim. They have since enlisted the drumming skills of Todd Hennig.
