Plain White T's is a Grammy Award-nominated alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois, that has released four full-length albums: Come on Over (2001), Stop (2002 Fearless Records), All That We Needed (2005 Fearless Records) and Every Second Counts (2006 Hollywood Records).

Plain White T's lead vocalist Tom Higgenson originally set out to be a drummer in high school and was a member of various bands. However, when Plain White T's first came together in the late 90's Higgenson took over songwriting and singing duties for the band. Bassist Ken Fletcher and drummer Dave Tirio came on board and the band began performing around the Chicago area.

In the summer of 1999 Tom Higgenson was in a car crash, which left him with a lacerated kidney and punctured lung. The band had only just started to get noticed by record labels at this point, but this made no difference as far as Atlantic was concerned, as the band got signed to this indie label in 2000. They recorded an album and released it, its name was Come on Over. They supported tours around the US, aiming only to gain their fan base.
