TCP released their first album, ' The Way ', in May 2011 to a surprising amount of worldwide critical acclaim for a debut album, while also winning spots on several 'best albums of 2009' progressive web site lists. The album took eleven months to complete and culminated in the band signing with 10T Records. Their sophomore release came in mid 2011, entitled 'Fantastic Dreamer', which enjoyed both enthusiastic fan as well as music critic support. The band hit 'best of progressive album of 2011' lists in Spain, Netherlands, UK, and the US, garnering acclaim from numerous music writers worldwide. One enthusiastic critic wrote: "After the amazing 'The Way' (2009), these brilliant 'Yankee' minds have delivered a masterpiece. Fantastic Dreamer is a treasure chest  full of rich progressive, very well-crafted music aged to perfection."

Without a doubt, TCP is easily recognizable by the unique refined grittiness of its talented front man Henry Tarnecky, leading to most frequent voice comparisons with ' Genesis ' era Peter Gabriel and ' Marillion ' era Fish . Henry is an accomplished keyboardist heard mostly in TCP songs he has personally composed. Word duties fall  solely on Henry as the band's resident poet, where he is revered for churning out lyrics that listeners identify with, but also contain multiple layers of meaning. His combination of contributions lead to album review critic comments such as, "Henry literally splashes the album with his talent, whether with his compositions, his lyrics or his voice." As a vocalist, Henry makes efficient use of just about any musical  landscape, often working where few vocalists would ever go. His syncopated vocal line style preference and sense of drama is a fundamental and endearing trait, as is his ability to offer a "completely unique aspect to his voice that is simultaneously unnerving and beguiling".

Blake, who doubles on keyboards and bass, could be considered the founding member of TCP. After meeting both Jack and Henry on the internet in late 2007, he put forth a proposal in early 2008 to form a legitimate band and aim at producing their first album. On keyboards, Blake is known for his rhythmic style and an acute knack for melodic counterpoint, ranging from the subtle to bombastic that "continually moves the music along and pushes its boundaries". His favorite sounds come from  mellotron, Hammond C3, Moog synths,  and pipe organs. In the low-end department, Blake favors the six-string  bass and tends toward the melodic role, although he is equally at home with rhythmic and poly-rhythmic support roles. He is also responsible for TCP's audio mixing and engineering.

Jack provides an uncommon dual role for the band, contributing both guitar and drum performances. His fluid guitar lines and capacity for numerous articulations and styles make him a versatile force. One critic notes: "enter the second point of note in TCP's arsenal - the guitar work". Jack's math-rock orientation favors odd time signatures, often translating into addictive forays and a vast progressive landscape. His schizophrenic playing ability leads to baffling descriptions of style: "Wright’s intelligent guitar work owes a debt to Steve Howe (circa Topographic Oceans) although overall his technique is difficult to pigeon hole,  cross cutting between prog, blues, and hard rock". Another critic notes a "spacey vibe, and David Gilmour style guitar", while another just proclaims "the guitar of Jack Wright sings and sears". Many don't know that he is also a trained drummer, and the same creativity  and versatility shown on guitar also appears in Jack's drumming. Ranging from austere to complex poly-rhythms over odd time signatures, he routinely "reveals himself to be a more than competent drummer."

TCP's newest member, Glenn, first appeared as a special guest on 'The Way' where he played mellotron on the song ' Sheep ', and in four different tracks on the 'Fantastic Dreamer' album. It caused one confused music critic to proclaim, “why Glenn Arpino is not a permanent member of the trio is beyond me. He plays on three tracks, but is also the composer of the nearly 14-minute finale 'Vision', which incidentally is an exciting track that deserves more than its length". Critic comments such as, ' Vision ' "should genuinely be held up as a progressive rock classic and is everything you could want in an epic closer. So far my favorite song of the year", caused quite a stir, generating significant positive sentiment- as both the group and Glenn hoped it might. These extremely positive critic reactions to the song became the major impetus for Glenn to make a continuing commitment to the band. Glenn is an excellent keyboardist and a prolific writer who for many years has collaborated with numerous musicians, including Jon Anderson, former front man for ' Yes '. He is now a key fourth composer and player in TCP.

The band members place a premium on close collaboration and joint production decisions and have been credited for combining "the best characteristics of the legends in prog music with astonishing original compositions and superb craftsmanship", along with a style where "the new and old are greatly united, as this classic prog gets a good injection of more modern musical ideas". So too is their unique way of musical expression amid the changing landscapes, focused melodies, and twisted time signatures, prompting Progression Magazine to state: "Shallow thinkers need not bother". Other critics' descriptions attempt to pinpoint and define the band's style as follows:

"Dark and light, moody and joyful, simple and multifaceted, dissonant and  melodic, these ambiguities and more could be used to describe the music  of TCP and even then I would be barely scratching the surface"

“TCP enchants the audience for various reasons: an excellent sound, original compositions, superb flights, Mellotron...a unique sound exploring the depths of art and progressive rock"

"TCP is a band to be looked upon as really moving this 'neo' genre forward"
