It was all

a dream.

If you could enter a reality where you could become everything you have ever wanted to be, would you do it?

What if there were consequences?

Is it worth the life that you lose and leave behind?

Our debut album BRAIN GAMES talks about what would happen if you were able to do all of those things and more. Each of the ten songs talks about a different feeling accompanied by a comic book chapter and visualizer to show you how we saw it when we wrote it.

The only question we have for you is this,

If you stepped inside your own brain, do you think you could make it out?

who are we in real life?

Wait a second, let me get this right. We wrote an entire fantasy world for you and you want to know who we REALLY are? Ugh. Fine.

“In The Middle formed in 2015 after meeting in human geography class. Soon after both Mars (singer) and Apollo (instrumentalist) expressed their love for music to each other. They spent years writing hundreds of songs and practicing in a 100+ degree garage. Mars then moved to Los Angeles and Apollo to New York to see which city could give them the opportunities they needed. Over the past two years they took the best of the hundreds of songs they wrote together to bring you all the top 10.

BRAIN GAMES is an album made through years of pain, love, sweat, tears and other things that musicians normally say here. The album talks about escaping into your own head and finding everything you ever wanted, and then realizing it wasn’t what you thought it would be. It talks about facing your fears and never giving up.

They also created an entire comic book for you to follow along with the story of the album.

Mars and Apollo worked with artists, photographers, producers, and engineers all over the world to bring you this album. From Russia to Germany to the coasts of the USA, they did it all for you.

So sit back, enjoy, and most of all…

Welcome to BRAIN GAMES.
