Max Toews was born in Seattle and raised in Edmonds, WA. He first picked up an instrument when he was 9 back in 1999, it was the baritone. Though he quickly found out brass was not his strong suit and eventually picked up the guitar when he was 13 in 2003. Max joined his first band, Unicron, in 2008 with his two friends Justin Fink and Chris Missler; Unicron didn't take off due to practice issues and was soon disbanded. In early 2009, Max, along with Darby Janssen, formed the band Early Bird.

In early 2009, Max, along with Darby Janssen, formed the band Early Bird. They recorded three songs (Particles of Mist, Morning Light, and Man On Fire); they are now on hiatus due to creative differences. About a month after the hiatus started Max was approached by his best friend Justin Fink with a band proposal: to form Pew! Pew! Dead!!!. Darby Janssen was soon recruited along with Max.
Max has been working on his unnamed solo project since he first picked up a guitar. His musical style is heavily influenced by bands like Interpol, Radiohead, Joy Division, Whitest Boy Alive, and Explosions in the Sky.
