Band Profile - The Tennents

The Tennents are a rock quartet from various villages around Hull. Having formed only a year or so ago, they are an already well established live act in the city - regulars at Lamp, Fruit and other pubs and clubs around the city. they have also featured in the now Fuel based indie themed night 'Time For Heroes vs Bossanova' - a culmination of two exciting nights after Lamp had to shut its doors for the final time.
Their sound is a mixture of classic rock with undertones of the nineties grunge movement - somewhere between Peace and The Enemy with clever lyrics and great guitar riffs. For such a young band their lyrics are suprisingly clever and work well - giving the songs not nescessarily more depth but still something with more soul than your average pop song. This form of lyric writing - especially caring about what you right isn't seen in a majority of rock bands and lyrics are generally more pompous, egotistical and have no sense of reality. Matty Connor, the lyricist, is no Doherty, Turner or Dylan yet but there are signs that he may develop into an even better songwriter than he already is.

The Tennents have recently been recording their first Ep at The Warren and is set to be released and heavily promoted by Jigsaw Records - a local, independent records company - in the coming months.
At least two of the tracks from the Ep will be featuring in the documentary with the segment about them.
The Ep tracklist:
1. Touch The Sky
2.I've Been Waiting
3. Hey (Working Title)
