History
Formation and early years (2003–2007)
PMtoday was formed by brothers Connor and Ryan Brogan in 2003, with Connor on vocals and guitar and Ryan as drummer and vocalist. The other members of the band were bassist Nick Hargett, along with guitarist and backing vocalist Justin Coulter. The band started out playing Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World covers. The name was not decided until they became a band playing their own music. According to an interview with Spinner, the band name was only made because it "sounded kind of cool and was an interesting name", and was originally meant as a joke between the brother's classmates but the name soon stuck. The band began playing small shows locally and charted very highly on statewide Purevolume charts which gave the band high visibility in Arkansas. Their first 5-song EP was offered for free upon its release in 2004. The following winter a 4-song EP was released, further propelling the band's reach and notoriety. Guitarist Justin Coulter left the band in June 2005, and Kevin Middleton was found that July as his replacement. Around the same time, the band announced that all of their music, except for the song This Disease, would be removed from the band's page, and that they would be writing new songs.

- And Then the Hurricane released:
Goodbye Blue Monday
Goodbye sleep, sunlight
Infinite time
welcome nocturnal minds
and deadlines
i keep eating away at my head
hoping there's something good in it
but i've lost all my ideas
they fell through the holes in my brain
along with my beliefs
and the morals i once had
if i could only find my niche
some place where i fit
i will never feel the way i felt back then
i wish i could see moments in
time like a stretch of mountains
i know it sounds nostalgic
i need to know where i
lost my incentive and talent
i will never feel the way i felt back then ever again
don't sit next to me
i'm not the man i used to be
i wanna be left alone
with my heart carved out of stone
nothing inspires me
like it used to before
i started questioning
why all my prayers were ignored.
sell me your innocence because
i'm desolate and poor
i busted my golden halo on the floor
let me wear your skin
i wanna be somebody's burden
