Ten City Nation at Camden Purple Turtle by Emersongs




Ten City Nation formed in January 2007 in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk in England, because they live there. They spent much of the year blagging supports with the likes of Untitled Musical Project, Look See Proof, Nebraska and Rosalita, and joined We Start Fires on their UK tour in November. In January 2008 they packed out Islington Bar Academy in London for the launch of their debut single, Exhibition Time Again.


Their self-titled debut album is currently available as a free download from TenCityNation.com


"Ten City Nation are an intriguing prospect... By the time they’ve 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. Like The Stooges before them, Ten City Nation have amazing presence... flailing around and dancing to a Mclusky-like noise... with the intent of a band that have been together for years." - Drownedinsound.com


"Exhibition Time Again pits murderous melodies against some fabulous harmonies... a bruising slab of impossible-to-ignore rock that can’t fail to inspire a whole new generation of wannabes to pick up a guitar and play it to death. On this track alone, Ten City Nation sound like a time bomb primed to obliterate the competition at a moment’s notice. And that’s what makes them so edgy, so goddamned vital." - ScreamingTarts.com


"Cried-out Stooges-style vocals, energetic jagged riffs, and a taut QOTSA-style bass and drum section that thunders like bison’s hoofs across abandoned deserts... atmospheric guitar patterns hove into view above night skies, before being interjected by urgent, stabbing, early Nirvana-esque guitars, drum rolls and Seymour’s frantically emotional vocals... an act that’s clearly looking to push into vital punk rock terrains." - God Is In The TV


"Ten City Nation have far larger balls than the usual 'indie-rock' fare... certainly worth watching out for." - Whisperin & Hollerin


"Tight rock n roll circa ‘Bleach’ Nirvana... the spirit and passion shines through." - Subba-cultcha.com


"Ten City Nation could in time prove to be more than a match for most in terms of aggression, intensity and melodic muscle... an ensemble not content with being easily pigeonholed, while the raging tour de force Exhibition Time Again with its pummelling front line assault of searing riff attacks nailed to the floor by a killer chorus hook that’d make the QOTSA weep with jealousy may well be a ringer for early career Foo Fighters with their mindset well and truly attuned to Nirvana’s Bleach... the emotionally crushed Everyone's A Tourist with its needling intertwining cloud piercing riffs reveals an aching lovelorn mindset buzz sawing within their chemistry... the monumental and refined The Air Is On Fire - dark, brooding and epic, this majestic babe mooches in the parched airless stratospheric reaches prickling and prowling amid cavernous cascades of atmospheric chimes momentarily erupting into life to scowl and strut in fearless fashion - damn smart if you ask me." - Losingtoday.com


"I can’t say enough good things about this band, they deserve to be huge." - RoomThirteen.com

lmao, what a twisted image xp
how would.. actually. i'm not going to even address the question of "how would that work?"

&for someone who has a strange obsession with australian animals, im not even sure the platypus has ears you can see anyway,
so the rabbit eared one would probably be a positive contribution to bio-diversity xp

compact concertina..
that would have to hurt.
i mean, it'd be his organs folding for starters..
i'm thinking about this too much.

i'll sketch it if i get bored,
hahaa.

haahahaa,
no! it's not a duck.
but it is a platypus.
which is occasionally prefixed with "duck-billed".

i'm not sure why though,
have you ever seen a platypus without a bill?
¬_¬'

i think about these things waaaay too much.
but, at least this time i answered a question ;p
