After selling thousands of copies of their self-titled debut album and drawing sales from around the globe, The Better World teamed up with Grammy award-winner Jason Corsaro (Soundgarden, Buckcherry) to record “Broken Memories”. Mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, U2, Creed), "Broken Memories" captures the intensity of the Foo Fighters and the heart-felt melodies of 3 Doors Down and Lifehouse to form a powerful, hard-hitting album of shout out loud rock songs. All hailing from New Jersey, the band has gained recognition for their energetic live shows and unforgettable hooks. They have sold out top NYC/NJ venues and continue to play to packed houses at well known area hot spots. In September 2009, The Better World won the “Next Big Thing” contest on AlternativeAddiction.com and was given the band spotlight feature for that entire month. AA has also named TBW one of the Top 20 Unsigned Bands in the country of 2009 while promoting their single “Counting The Days”, which was the website's Number 1 song download for 10 straight weeks. Nationally, TBW has placed 3rd out of 2000 bands in the Taylor Guitar Test-Drive 2009 competition. The band has also placed 3rd out of 200 bands in New York City’s Meany Fest competition in December 2009. Most recently, TBW has signed a contract with Sony to have their single, “It’s Alright” featured in the upcoming movie, "Hit List" starring Cuba Gooding Jr. The Better World is currently touring in support of "Broken Memories" and has begun writing new material for their next E.P. due out in 2010.

"This band knows how to make great heart-felt music. I have to admit it was one of the best albums I have listened to all year."
Iammiak.com
“It’s hard to not be impressed by “It’s Alright”. The melody instantly imbeds itself into the listener’s psyche. It really feels like you guys are pouring your heart and soul into the performance.”
Taxi.com
"The album is packed with every element you want from music, from the catchier hook of “It’s Alright” that could easily take over the radio waves, to the in-your-face, angst-ridden, tear-it-up “Only One.”
Changeupmag.com
"This is a trio of undeniably talented musicians, who know how to take that talent and weave it into music that can reach out and grab even the unlikeliest fan. It’s hard to find such strong songwriting in music now.”

"The Better World sure know how to raise hell in the Big City. This little band that could, delivers heart-felt lyrics while maintaining their rocker showmanship."
Illumina All Area Access
"Definitely a band to watch and a disk that bodes well for them breaking big."
Yorkton This Week
