Tim Be Told is a Contemporary Christian music group that originated in Charlottesville, VA. Their musical style incorporates elements of soul, pop, rock, gospel and blues. Their name was derived from the term "truth be told", where honesty is one of the band's focuses. Their goal within the music industry is promote the themes of honesty, hope, redemption, and change. In 2008, they were able to successfully win the University of Virginia's "Battle of the Bands" competition. Despite their accomplishments, the band was still somewhat unknown in the traditional communities, including the Christian radio community. However, much of this changed once the track "Analyze", off of their "From the Inside" album grew popular with various Contemporary Christian music outlets, such as the Gospel Music Channel, who used the video for their weekly feature.
