This Condition, often abbreviated as TC, is a pop rock band originating from Long Island, NY.
Guitarist Mike McGovern, drummer Steve Keyes and vocalist Nate Cyphert met while working at American Eagle Outfitters.
The demos garnered the band some attention on Long Island, inspiring one journalist to write that Cyphert's vocals both resemble those of The Rocket Summer's Bryce Avary.
Following their month-long East Coast tour in the summer of 2008, they returned to Killingsworth Studio in Hicksville, New York with producer Anthony Santonocito to record their 1st EP, We Don't Have to Be Alone, released on November 18, 2008.
At the end of 2009, the band parted ways with lead guitarist, Anthony Giambalvo, who wanted to focus on his education.
