Career

Tewers joined Before Their Eyes in 2008. While in the band, he started a side project named Vessels, which was later renamed to The Plot in You. Landon was part of the band during the release of the second and third albums "The Dawn of My Death" and "Untouchable". After this album, Tewers left the band in to put his focus on his current band. [3] The band currently consists of Landon as vocalist, Josh Childress as guitarist, Ethan Yoder as bassist and drummer Michael Cooper. He has released 5 albums and 3 EP's with The Plot in You. Their debut album First Born was published on April 18, 2011. Their most recent album Swan Song was published on September 17, 2021. [4] Their most popular song, "Feel Nothing" from the album Dispose released in 2018, has gone gold in Canada on October 4, 2022 [5] and in the United States on November 30, 2022. [6]

Landon announced in early March 2014 that he was going to release a debut solo EP named Dead Kid on April 1, 2014, with "weird songs I can't use for anything else". The first single named "Ma and Pa" was published on YouTube on March 4, 2014, and the EP was eventually released on March 27, 2014. [7] Tewers released another single track titled "I Hope You Have a Shitty Christmas" on December 24, 2014. He said he got drunk 'the other night' and wrote a Christmas song. He published the song to keep The Plot fans happy because they wouldn't release something until October 2015. [8] In February 2015, Landon released another song to keep providing the band's fans with music. This time it was a cover of Drake's song "Hold On, We're Going Home". Sean Macdonald (Seanzy) provided backup vocals for the cover. [9] In the same month, he released the song "I'll Always Be Proud", "Feel You Out" and "Cleansed My Soul". [10] [11]

In September 2015, Landon released his first part of the Ai640 trilogy, which is about a robot that escapes a lab, then sees how awful humans are, and decides the only way to save earth is to kill all humans. [12] The second part of the trilogy named Ai640, Pt. 2 got released in December 2017 and the third and last part in February 2020 which would complete the AI640 trilogy. [13] In December 2015, he released the Xmas EP which consists of 4 songs, among his 2014 single "I Hope You Have a Shitty Christmas". [14] Landon released his first solo album titled "Dynamite" on December 9, 2016, containing 10 tracks. [15] "Withdrawals", Landon's second solo album, was released on July 19, 2019, which has 9 songs in it. [16]

After the release of his second album, Tewers started to release more pop & hip-hop oriented songs. In 2020, Landon made a 'covid song' because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The song is named "Rona-19" and was made as a sneer to the people who feared it, while also still expressing his own concerns. [17] His most recent EP Frontal Lobe Submission was released on January 29, 2021, with 6 songs. Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker was featured on the song and single "Kill Me" and Gabbie Hanna was featured on "F Pacing". [18] Tewers released 3 singles in 2022. The first one was "Maddie's Song", published on April 1, which was a song for his wife's birthday. [19] The second song is "Sink with Me", featuring blanket and the third, "Over You", was a featuring with Waynewood and JavyDade. In 2023 he released 3 more songs, named "Cinnamon Skies", published on April 22, 2023, which is a collaboration with Waynewood and JavyDade and "I Like It", which was published on July 14, 2023.
