TenTonHalo

Since 2001, as one incarnation or another, we have been writing and performing music that allows us to release our aggression towards the forces holding us down, our disappointment in those who have failed us as friends, and our frustration with this irreversibly fucked-up world we live in - without winding up in jail the next day. More than anything else, we are defined by what we are not. We are not a pack of brooding, heavily tattooed, image-oriented, gloomy, and self-admittedly powerless punks who play a set list about how much life sucks. We are not a local band playing music for free booze, cheap women, and an evening of pseudo-famousness. We are not some disorganized group of ego-centric musicians who scoff at those with the ability and willpower to better themselves. Our music is about the harshest, most painful elements of our reality, and it is what we use to get from one day to the next while maintaining some semblance of sanity. Because of this, what we play is some of the most genuinely emotional music to resonate through the Midwestern underground, and our live performance is among the most brutal out there. We arent pursuing a hobby, we are pursuing what is quite possibly the only thing we were made to do: play our own music, our own way.
