FTL ("Free The Leaf") is a collection of eclectic musicians that are kindred spirits in the groove. Hailing from various areas, five of the members joined together in college as a means for feelgood jammin. FTL has matured over the years, adding drummer Evan Gentry to craft orignal songs that capture the attitude, beliefs, and delights of the entire group.
FTL was the winner of TCU's 2003 Battle of the Bands.
