WHO IS TVH?
the story
Them vs. Her is an alt-emo band from Long Island, NY that started as an acoustic duo in 2012 - founded by Sarah Rose (vocals) and Tim Stark (rhythm guitar). The duo played with a handful of local musicians including Anthony Corso (drums) and Matt Edell (lead guitar) from 2014-2016.In 2016, they teamed up with producer Anthony Lopardo at Westfall Recording Company to create their first full-length concept album, Swing Sets & Handguns. The short story behind the album tells a distinct lucid story of a young couple plagued by mental illness and addiction. "Conceptually, Them vs. Her hit the nail on the head when it came to deciphering a story through song," said music blogger, Sunny Menagerie, at Golden Mixtape. Despite positive feedback, the band came to a halt shortly after.In 2022, the original duo released Lovers & Strangers, a stripped-down acoustic album featuring 12 raw tracks originally written for a second full-band release. It was soft-launched with zero fanfare, mostly for the people still listening.In 2024, Them vs. Her was brought back together by Rose (vocals + bass), Corso (drums) and Edell (lead guitar). They brought Howie Kunzinger on as their new rhythm guitarist.In 2025, the band collaborated with Rose's mental health platform, BPD Beautiful, on the Original Soundtrack for Sadie’s Favorite—a novel written by Rose about BPD recovery, trauma and life after abuse. The soundtrack features ambient instrumentals, gritty full-band arrangements, and voice clips that tie into the book’s emotional arc. The novel and soundtrack will be released through BPD Beautiful on October 22, 2025.Them vs. Her is currently working on their next release.
