BIOGRAPHY
Forged in the hard rock proving grounds of Minneapolis, MN in 2004, 3 Pill Morning could be described as trial by fire. Simply put, music was never a question for lead vocalist Jeff Stebbins and failure was never an option. While other musicians were moving from project to project and band to band, Stebbins took a different path, consistently growing and evolving 3 Pill Morning into an anthemic rock band no one could deny.
It took the better part of 5 years, over 500 shows in basement bars and the constant ups and downs of any young unsigned band. But nothing would stop the evolution of 3 Pill Morning. The band forged on, hitting the road harder than ever before, solidifying their sound, and cementing their spot as a national touring act sharing the stage with the likes of Hollywood Undead, Sevendust, In This Moment and Theory of a Deadman. Through 3 Pill Morning’s consistent mile grinding and road warrior focus, the band has built an inspiring fan base with die hard supporters worldwide.
After a chance introduction in a city better known for honky-tonks and banjos than gut-wrenching riffs, the band found a creative match with Nashville based producer Jon King (Augustana, Throwing Gravity, Future Leaders of the World) . They quickly went to work writing, recording, and re-vamping songs and ideas to take that next sonic step. In 2012 the band signed a recording contract with King’s Page 2 Music and New York based A2Z Entertainment. “We were really intentional with everything this time around,” comments Stebbins, “as a band we had a specific vision for what we wanted to do and that really set the tone for everything from the writing process down to the artwork and suits we wear live."
Two months of all-night recording sessions later, the band emerged from the studio with a renewed vigor and a slick concoction of fist pumping riffs, infectious melodies and an energy that can only be described as relentless. 3 Pill Morning’s label debut 'Black Tie Love Affair' pegs all the dials and pulls no punches. The band’s lead single ‘Rain’ immediately raced into the top 100 Active Rock songs, the album hit #62 on the Billboard Heat Seekers chart and their sleek video capturing the underdog story ‘Skin’ has lit up YouTube. All signs are positive that this band’s determination and fan-centric demeanor will keep them on the radar for years to come.

3 Pill Morning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We think that you're nothing at all
You want the peasants to respect you
We can′t wait to watch you fall
You're all the same
We know it's all fake anyway
Chasing the fame
And we′re just in your way
We're at the bottom of the barrel now
So choose your words but choose them careful
When we come alive
You know we′re coming for you
Hang on your empty reputation
We're gonna take it all
You′re all the same
And now we're here to stay
We′re at the bottom of the barrel
We're at the bottom of the barrel now
So choose your words but choose them careful
When we come alive
You know we're coming for you
Now you see no one is saving you
We love to watch you hit the ground
These five words I want to say to you
[?] no stopping us now!
We′re at the bottom of the barrel
We′re at the bottom of the barrel now
So choose your words but choose them careful
When we come alive
You know we're coming for you
We′re at the bottom of the barrel
We're at the bottom of the barrel now
So choose your words but choose them careful
When we come alive
You know we′re coming for you
"Bottom of the Barrel" by 3 Pill Morning is a song that speaks loudly to people who have faced injustice or discrimination at the hands of the ruling class, who think they are above everyone else. The song is about how the underdogs have had enough of the fake acts of royalty and are ready to fight back. The song seems to suggest that the power structure that exists is loose, and it can all fall apart in a minute. The lyrics talk about how the ones who believe themselves to be mighty should be cautious of the words they choose, as the tables can turn on them in no time. The song confronts the ones who believe themselves to be superior and let them know that they are in for a rude awakening.
The lyrics of the song are set to a loud, hard-hitting rock beat that emphasizes the message of the song. The song's driving beat and intense sound pair perfectly with aggressive lyrics to create a powerful message that is hard to ignore. The song's chorus, "We′re at the bottom of the barrel, and we′re coming for you" is the perfect battle cry for anyone who feels that they have been oppressed unfairly.
