History

Early Years (2010-2012) 

The group was formed in 2010 by Beebs and Jeremy Lovelady in Melbourne, Florida, who subsequently moved to Orlando after having musician troubles and met drummer Jeff Carruth and emcee Btrue. There, the group wrote, arranged and recorded their first album, "Welcome to Barter Town" which was produced by Michelle Beebs and drummer Jeff Carruth, and engineered by Brandon Kaufman. The CD release party was at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida.

After performing at the 2012 Florida Music Festival, Beebs was approached by Warped Tour founder/producer Kevin Lyman who invited the group to perform at all 40 dates of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour.

Second Album and Warped Tour (2013) 

The band recorded their second album, "No Sleep Tonight!" in 2013 at Studio 18 in Orlando. Following this, they acquired a sponsorship from Ripley's Believe It or Not! to assist in financing the tour.
While on tour, the group were filmed for a featuring role in Warped Roadies Season 2 on Fuse (TV channel). BaHMM also began releasing their own video content which has featured Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, The Aquabats, and Jackson Rathbone. After tour, the band was invited Pot O' Gold recording studio in Anaheim, California where they recorded the EP "How to Start a Dance Party", including the single "Crazy" which featured Reel Big Fish frontman Aaron Barrett. The EP was also produced by Barrett and engineered by studio owner David Irish.

The band then went on tour as direct support for Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger and Five Iron Frenzy for the north east leg of their fall tour in 2013. In the summer of 2014 they plan to joining the Vans Warped Tour presented by Journeys.
The band has earned a positive reception from the Orlando Sentinel, who stated "songs such as "Hand Out" and "Miss Captain Kangaroo" mixed rock, old-school R&B and other influences with air-tight precision. It's a well-conceived package that is hard to resist."
