About this user

Formed in their sleepy UK hometown of Bury St Edmunds in 2007, Ten City Nation wasted no time in gigging like madmen by November of that year, they were supporting NME darlings We Start Fires on a UK tour. A sold-out single launch party at Londons Islington Bar Academy in January 2008 led to high-profile supports for Artrocker favourites Untitled Musical Project and Popular Workshop, which in turn led to an appearance at the Offset Festival alongside Wire, Future Of The Left and Blood Red Shoes. In May 2008, Ten City Nations self-titled, self-released debut album won the affections of BBC Radio Suffolk, who put the band forward to represent the station at that years Reading & Leeds Festivals. The band also helped put together (and appeared on) a compilation in aid of Love Music Hate Racism, and embarked on a Summer 2008 Love Music Hate Racism tour with Popular Workshop, Nebraska, Kunk and hotly-tipped fellow Bury boys Thee Vicars. A song from the debut album, TDK 90, is featured in the forthcoming new Suicide Girls movie.

A critically-acclaimed sophomore album, At The Still Point, was recorded and mixed over 3 days on a Suffolk farm by Sam Marsh (formerly of early 90s John Peel favourites Jacobs Mouse). On release in August 2009, it shot straight to #49 in Tower Records USAs Alternative Top 100. Two songs from the album, Silent Disco and Flashing Lights were released as a 7 double A-side through legendary DIY label R*E*P*E*A*T; XFMs John Kennedy championed Flashing Lights on his show and the single was launched with a packed-out Club Fandango show at Camdens Dublin Castle. 2009 also saw Ten City Nation continue playing festivals, all-dayers and yet more supports to future rock heroes including Ipso Facto and Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring, rounding off the gigging year with a headline show at the Cambridge Junction.

Ten City Nation are currently working on their third album, due for release in mid-to-late Summer, with tours pending in the UK, Germany and Japan.

"Ten City Nation manage to create a mood of their own, which is uncommon enough to be notable. Their moth-eaten darkness, their quest for disharmony, are evidence not only of their deep musical culture, but also of their radical talent." This Is Fake DIY

A visceral scouring pad of an album, fast, violent and utterly compelling Ten City Nation are exciting and brave enough to crank out an album of bruising, energetic noise. BBC Music

"It's loud, melodic, passionate and everything that most bands these days aren't; Ten City Nation demands to be heard, and you'd be a fool to ignore it..." Kiss Me Ive Quit Smoking

"Ten City Nation are an intriguing prospect... By the time theyve finished their opening song, prospect is meaningless - smashed apart by the imposing edifice of vehement rock and roll; forgotten in the hazy memory of a thrashing three-chord punk rock explosion." - Drownedinsound.com

"This is a brilliant album... Ten City Nation propels itself with an eclectic relentlessness. (Album of the Week) Treblezine

"A treat from start to finish, this proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Ten City Nation are a politically conscious, morally astute and musically gifted band that cannot be ignored." Screaming Tarts

"Cried-out Stooges-style vocals, energetic jagged riffs, and a taut QOTSA-style bass and drum section that thunders like bisons hooves across abandoned deserts... an act thats clearly looking to push into vital punk rock terrains." - God Is In The TV
