I don’t think we’ve covered this band at length in the past but what better a time than now to share some great new music. The band is called Tenkiller probably because a few members are from Tennessee and they are killer? Most likely not, but I consider them killer so there you go. Anyway, this new band might a have a few familiar faces and names coming from bands like For Love Not Lisa, Puller, Blenderhead, Spoken in Tongues, Chainsaw Kittens, and more, all shaping up the lineup for a new band that is more seasoned and talented than a lot of newer groups making a go of it. They have a couple new songs, one of which just dropped back in January (watch the video below). So look up “Tenkiller” on your favorite digital network or in the Spotify playlist I created below. Their sound takes on some cues from outlaw country mixed in with some classic Americana, Blues, with an alt country punk-ish touch. If you’re a fan of Gasoline Heart, Dustin Kensrue, Bruce Springsteen, Gaslight Anthem, Hank Williams III, Johnny Cash, and the vocals of Puller/For Love Not Lisa (it is Mike himself after all), then you’ll fall in love with this project.
