Très Bien! are a "beatle-esque power-pop" group from Clearwater, Florida. They were one of the bands chosen to audition for The Next Great American Band. The members consist of Mikey B on lead vocals, keyboards, and guitar, Cody Wilson on bass and back up vocals, Michael James Crowe on lead guitar and harmonies, and Ryan Parker Metcalf on drums and harmonies.

The band's music has a feel and style from the 1960s, influenced by the mod/rockers of the decade. They first released a six track EP with tracks such as "The West" and "Time For Change." "The Way We Know How" has hints of contemporary pop with a mix of psychedelic rock. Impressed by the band's eccentric live show and outgoing personalities, they were invited to New York City for a showcase. In the summer of 2007, they were invited to audition for FOX's The Next Great American Band. Selected from a pool of over 10,000 submissions, they made it to the final twelve and then on to place sixth in the competition. The band were eliminated from the show on November 30, 2007.

While living in L.A. during the filming, the band started writing songs for their newest EP. Immediately following the show, they recorded their new album and embarked on what they call "the never ending tour".
