Before You Exit is an American pop rock band from Orlando, Florida. Formed in 2007, the band originally consisted of Connor McDonough, Braiden Wood, and Thomas Silvers and was known by the name "Soul Binder 39." The band's name was later changed to "Before You Exit" (initially stylized in the form of texting abbreviations as "B4UXIT"), short for the band's motto: make a difference before you exit. A year later in 2008, the band also included Connor's younger brother, Riley. In mid-2012, Toby McDonough joined, and the line-up changed to the three brothers as the face of the band with Braiden and Thomas for live performances. Braiden later left the band to pursue a solo career.
In August 2009, they self-released their debut EP, A Short Story Long. March 2011 saw the release of their second EP, Letting Go, and their third EP, I Like That, was released in February 2013. In July 2015, they released their single, "Model". Before You Exit's latest EP, All the Lights, was released on April 8, 2016. Before You Exit has not yet released a full-length album.
In 2009, they released their first EP, A Short Story Long. The first tour that the band took part in was All Time Low's 2010 My Small Package Tour, in which they became a supporting act in the middle of the tour. They also played a few shows on All Time Low's 2011 tour, the Dirty Work Tour.
In 2010, the band was featured in the music video for "Love Me Or Let Me Go" by Avery, released on YouTube on November 11, 2010. Before You Exit also had a guest appearance in the official video for Stefanie Scott's "Girl I Used To Know," released via YouTube on October 20, 2011.
In 2011, the band released their second EP, Letting Go. Following the release was their own mini-headlining The Next Big Thing Tour in the fall of 2011.
The band first released End Of The World as single on January 10, 2012 before releasing a newer version of the song featuring the rapper, Anth, on December 21st of that year.
They were supporting acts in Allstar Weekend's All The Way Tour, alongside Hollywood Ending and The After Party. The band also auditioned for X Factor USA and made it through to the judges' houses round but dropped out because they realized that the competition wasn't for them. In August 2012, the band line up changed as Toby McDonough, younger brother of Connor and Riley, joined the group. Due to their growing success and recognition in South America, the band was invited to perform at Brazil's 2012 NoCapricho Festival.
