"Every now and then I'm feeling lost in a wilderness of Hot Topic bands and a music scene that seems determined to kill itself by asphyxiation, then a band comes along like TIED FOR LAST that makes me remember why I enjoy music in the first place. They are super tight, punk meets melodic rockabilly meets general mayhem and somehow it works. IF WE HAD MORE BANDS LIKE TIED FOR LAST, ROCK MIGHT YET STAND A FIGHTING CHANCE."
- BRIAN COGAN
author of THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PUNK, (2008, Sterling Press)
Like some unholy cross between NOFX and Tom Petty, TIED FOR LAST is a classic punk rock band, complete with energy, attitude, hooks and humor.
Hailing from just north of New York City, Steve, Tommy, Jen and Andrew combine to make an infectious noise that mixes classic punk rock urgency with elements of pop, garage, rockabilly, surf, and at times, even country and metal. This wide palate stems from the fact that all four band members are songwriters and music fans with voracious appetites for music from all different styles and eras.
In 2007 the quartet released its first full-length studio disc, the self- produced gem, KICKASS YES-MAN CORPORATE HACKS (available through interpunk.com, and I-Tunes among other sources). The album, which includes a number of TIED FOR LAST original songs along with a hidden live cover tune, displays many of the group’s strengths. The songs show a band young enough to not take life - or themselves - too seriously, though mature enough to write well-structured, catchy tunes that leave the listener humming the choruses long after the CD is complete.
TIED FOR LAST has promoted the disc by playing many out-of-state shows up and down the East Coast in 2007 and 2008 (NY, NJ, CT, PA, DC, KY, VA, TN). The group has been cultivating its local fan base as well, by regularly performing in New York City and its surrounding counties.
They've also been featured on the bill at festivals including AIIRAIDO.NET's Aiirtoberfest (2007), M.E.A.N.Y.Fest (2006), and the internationally-renowned LebowskiFest (2005). That last performance then led to the inclusion of the TFL song "Achiever" in the documentary film "Over the Line - an Achiever Story" (directed by Eddie Chung, 2007). And in the summer of 2008, TFL had a punk dream come true when they got the chance to open a show for punk legends AGENT ORANGE.
Founded by Steve Scollard and Tommy D'Angelo in the early 2000s, TFL rose to prominence on NYC’s live downtown music scene shortly thereafter. The boys (and girl) have performed on a number of legendary stages, playing many shows at the punk meccas CBGB and The Continental - including farewell shows at each venue during each respective club's last week in the live music business.
The band released its first CD, SORTA LIVE, in 2004. The acclaimed, live-in-the-studio demo has sold out of its three pressings, and is now available on most major commercial download sites (including I-Tunes). Between SORTA LIVE and KICKASS YES-MAN CORPORATE HACKS, the group released a few limited-edition singles along with IS THIS YOUR HOMEWORK, LARRY?, a sampler made and distributed to coincide with the band's performance at LebowskiFest NY in 2005.
In the last year, TIED FOR LAST has released two CD singles, both from the upcoming (untitled) 2009 studio release. The band’s music has been racking up airplay on various commercial, independent, and college radio stations across the US and Canada. Internationally, TFL has had its music played regularly on internet-based radio shows originating from the US, Australia, Canada, and the UK. November 11, 2007 even saw an entire four-hour broadcast dedicated to the band on CANADIANMUSICROCKS.COM
TFL’s media and internet presence has also been growing rapidly as well. The band has been interviewed in local media as well as being a featured artist on various punk- and music-related webzines, and the group's myspace page, which currently serves as its main internet presence, has seen an explosion of visitors, friends and song plays. Currently, their total song plays on myspace is pushing 180,000 (bot-less).
...and 180,000 fans can’t be wrong!*
(*okay, maybe they CAN be wrong...but in this case, they’re NOT.)
