A Mixture Of Our Influences With A Touch Of Southern Swagga
....And on March 1st 2008, the writing began.3 Musicians from established and respected bands of the underground NOLA metal scene,Brawler(Aggro-Fate),Lee(The Judas Kiss) and Blaine(The Judas Kiss),all leaving their previous endeavors because of creative differences and brought together by creative similarities and thus The Unwilling Commencement was born.Eager to play the 2nd annual Battle Of The Bar(Which featured 32 bands around Louisiana) T.U.C. enlisted the help from Matt and Tony from Throughwhatwas to round out the line up temporaily.Debuting at this competition, T.U.C. came in first place for the first 3 rounds and coming in at 2nd at the finals.Within the few months of T.U.C. being together they have opened for Bury Your Dead,In This Moment,Liferuiner,This World We Knew And Gwen Stacy.It wasn't until Jan of 09 that the 2nd guitarist spot was permanently filled by a friend telling us about Andrew Bragagnini which became love at first sight(No Homo)and which the members of TUC really consider the band to be born.In April 09 They Entered The Battle For The Music As A Weapon IV Tour which they came in 1st allowing them a slot on the show which included Crooked X, Bury Your Dead, Spineshank, Lacuna Coil, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage and Disturbed.
