History
Signing with Rise Records and In Medias Res (2009–2011)
On the road, PMtoday made an integral connection with Kentucky band Emarosa. Upon meeting the band, members of Emarosa were given a copy of And Then The Hurricane, according to Emarosa's guitarist Jonas Ladekjaer, greatly influencing Emarosa's 2008 recording of Relativity. The copy was soon passed to Rise Records owner Craig Ericson who went into further signing talks in 2009. According to both PMtoday's and Rise Records' official MySpace pages, they signed with indie label Rise Records on May 26, 2009. They started recording In Medias Res on September 22, 2009, and finished on October 25, 2009. The album was released on April 6, 2010 to generally positive reviews. In their music video for "Don't Exist", a child sits next to a picture frame displaying home-made video clips of adolescence. These clips are actual video recordings of the bandmembers as children and are central to the message of the song, according to the band.
Break-up (2011)
According to an interview with PunkWorldViews.com, PMtoday were already writing new material on the road and would expect to be able to record another album in 2012, and stated that it was going to be different than anything they had done in the past. However, at the time there were rumors circulating on the internet that the band were going to break up. This rumor spread when they put up ads, selling their touring van on their Facebook page. Eventually, PMtoday confirmed the rumor by posting a brief statement saying, "To clarify the rumors people are making up. This band is done and is never coming back." It was later rumored that the breakup was due to lack of time for writing new songs to meet Rise Records' deadline for a new album.
Move Orchestra (2013-present)
On April 17, 2013 Connor and Ryan Brogan (PMtoday's founding members) started a new electronic music project called Move Orchestra. Through Facebook, they announced that they would be recording and posting music over the summer of 2013. In late June, they announced that former member Cuinn Brogan would be joining the project as well. Since then, the line-up has been completed by occasional member Griffin, the Brogans' youngest brother. The band had previously asked former bassist Jerrod Morgan to join, but he declined. Move Orchestra has since released four singles and a self-titled EP. In June 2014 Pmtoday reunited for one night to do a proper farewell show, as support act for Brand New.
