"Ten Tiers new release Don’s Club Tavern Part One is a smash hit...combining all the key elements that are right up there with all-star material: Timely, conscious and right on the money. Here’s a band to watch out for. Keyword: Compelling" - Carmen Allgood, The Colorado Wave Syndicated radio.
Great review posted in Westword!! "’How to Love You,’ a swirling rocker that shows off the band’s myriad strengths"
By Michael Roberts. Read it here at Westword.com
Ten Tiers was nominated in the Pop category for the 2006 Westword Music Showcase.
Now... what were we saying?
Is it pop-rock? No. (well, if the Westword wants to call it that, then okay, we’ll let them call it whatever they want!) Is it alternative-rock? Possibly. Is it progressive-rock? Sorta. Is it drama-rock? Huh? Is it rock? Yes. But wait, is it metal? No. But it is rock.
Described as a fusion of David Bowie and Cat Stevens, Ten Tiers has won over fans from LA to New York and from metal rock to pop music and everything in between.
"Imaginative songwriting, powerful vocal’s backed by amazing melodies..." - Elana Jefferson, Denver Post Weekend
"Jonathan Tiersten is one of the five best songwriters to come out of the Denver and Boulder area in the last fifteen years and that includes Big Head Todd." - Sharon Rawles, Talent Director - Capitol Hill Peoples Fair
"I’m really getting into the new album with two songs ALREADY thrusting themselves into my subconcious as I write (and in general) - The title track’s (Tied Up) hook grabbed me from the very first listen, and just gets better each listen. And I was surprised to find myself really loving the 13th track (November) that I think is my current favorite..." - Sean Crouch, Lead Writer for the CBS hit show "NUMB3RS"
We are trying to create music that leaves you with something. Melodies and hooks are great, but in the end it has to be about emotion and desire. Life and death. Boredom and sex. Hate and fear. The never ending yet excruciating process of self investigation and a healthy bit of loathing. If you want to avoid therapy, write, perform; make a complete ass of yourself and maybe, just maybe, change someones life or night for better or worse. B.B. King once said, " The Blues aren’t about feeling bad. Their about making other people feel worse". At its best music just makes us feel. We aren’t a blues band. But I think we know what it is to have the blues in you. Listen and experience.

McGreetings Jonathan Tiersten and Ten Tiers Thank you for counting us among your MySpace friends. Please keep in touch, rock on! All the best to you and yours, from Pegasus in Bonnie Scotland.
.. Hi there Jonathan Tiersten and Ten Tiers first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
Yeah, that was really fun, hahaha! Damn dude, I wish I was there on Saturday. They always got a kickass crowd on that day.
