Long time bandmate of Coleman, Maxwell was added to the lineup primarily on bass, a few months after the original formation of Big Tobacco. Shortly after, he took on more roles as a guitarist, drummer, vocalist, and songwriter. Maxwell often accentuates Coleman's chord progressions with a lead guitar melody or is writing fuzzy, shoegaze-inspired songs.

After enrolling at Webster University, Coleman would ended up moving into a dorm that was in the same hall as Daniel. The two began jamming for a short time, then Daniel was quickly added to the band. Featured on keyboard, guitar, vocals, and bass, Daniel has a keen understanding of music theory, while also having "perfect pitch".
