   Origin-    Will Build To Suit is actually a rebound off of another, shorter-lived project known as Glacier Blue Hills.  It included the three of us as well as our friend Kenny from Hobbledehoy.  We put seven songs together in the span of two months, but Kenny had become the bass player for another band at the same time, called Since by Man.  After a brief stint of playing in both bands, Kenny decided to devote his energy solely to Since by Man.  At that point the Glacier Blue Hills songs we had written were dependant on two guitars, and rather than attempting to learn the parts and reteach them to another guitarist, we opted to start over as a three piece.  The first song we did was a song that I had written before Glacier Blue Hills had ever been conceived, a song called Draining the Pool.

The Name-    We struggled for a while with what to call ourselves.  We decided not to stay with Glacier Blue Hills because the name came from a story which Kenny was the only one who it had anything to do with, and since he was no longer in the band, we felt it didn't really apply.  It's increasingly difficult to find a name that is both original and liked by all the members.  Will Build To Suit comes from a bill board ad that Chris had seen.  He wrote it down on a list of other words and phrases that he liked as names.  Jason and I looked at the list and it jumped out at both of us.  Most people who have talked to me about the name don't like it, and that's probably part of the reason I do.  To me, will build to suit is kind of the theme of individuals in our nation.  Too many people are going to jobs they hate, leading lives they hate, and doing things they hate because their expected to do so.   Will Build To Suit, to me, is really the anti-theme of our music.
