TOURNE

WE'LL GET UNDER YOUR SKIN!!!!

About Me

Tourne would like to thank everyone that attended the Benefit for Keith Everson. It was a great turn out, and everyone had a great time. I know that Keith will be greatly missed, but he will be remembered in our hearts forever. Thank you for all of your support and remember that Tourne is always there to show their support to the families in the community.This is Chia again with the latest update... We would like to welcome the newest member of the Tourne Family, Ozzy Kinnerson. He comes from other great bands like Double Super Buss, Cinder Block and Forever BLack and more. He plays both the guitar and the bass as well as sings. So now we can concentrate on the new CD that should be coming out by the end of the year. This CD will be hot and loaded with heavy riffs that will melt your sock off. We are gearing up to make a trip down to Charleston before the year is out, and hopefully share the stage with our new friends Science Of The Mind. We shared the stage with them and Into The Void over at J.C. Maxeys earlier this month and built a new friendship. What can I say about these guys? The riffs are tight and the lyrics are powerfull. I especially love their original called "Enemy of Society." That's a bad ass riff....Anyway, Tourne is looking at building a larger cover listing for those bars that love to hear other people's songs. We are still going to throw in our own twist to them. But we are looking at some covers like:Lonely Train - Down With The Sickness - Bad Religion - Voodoo - Talk Dirty To Me - Die Die Die, My Darlin - Paint It Black - Holy Diver - NIB - Captian Howdy - Unholy Confessions - and more. We are also looking at some covers by Bullet For My Valentine, My Chemical Romance, Sevendust, and more. Why put a limit on things?For those of you how don's know, you can check out our review with Gryphon Metal. We had the Rev. Istvan come up to one of our practice sessions to hear us live.

Member Since: 11/26/2006
Band Members: Scott "Skiddy" Skidmore - Vocals - DrummerJason "Lateness" Wilmoth - Vocals - DrummerJames "Chia" Watkins - Guitarist - Backup Vocals - Tech of allJohn "The Beaver" Coon - GuitaristOzzy "Oz" Kinnerson - Bassist - Guitarist - Backup Vocals

Influences: Here's the scoop from Gryphon Metal Magazine. This is what the Rev Istvan had to say about Tourne. The Link is the following: http://gryphonmetal.ch/bloccoframe.htm"There is no relief from head banging hell."From the dark bowels of Belington and Grafton WV a sound was formed. It grew and deepened and took shape all the while honing its musical orgy in a chaotic deathlike pandemonium. This new mass took form and was called TOURNE. For over two years they have played in an ever widening area; developing the sound that Will be heard world wide! The world will recognize, TOURNE is Here! TOURNE will come for you! The first album from 2007, called Long Hard Road consists of eight driving multi- leveled lyrical madness and pain. Good strong vocals and a bass that is consistent and clear layered with a lead that scours the flesh from the bones. Don’t forget to steer clear of the sharp as nails drumming - there is no relief from head banging hell. Robot Society and The Seeker are my favorites.TOURNE is: Skiddy Skidmore - Lead Vocals and Drums, Chia Watkins - Guitar and backing vocals, Riffster Coon - Guitar and backing vocals, Lateness Wilmot - Drummer and vocals, and last but not least Red Bird Moore on Bass Guitar. Long Hard Road was recorded by TOURNE.A great first album from this hard working metal mammoth, which has already caught the attention of the metal world and the Metal Maiden. Stay tooned for Part 2 which will be the fiery interview from these decedent TOURNE titans of WV metal and later this year Part 3 which will be the new CD.rating: 8.5 / 10The only this is this. Red Bird Is no longer the active bass guitarist. He was a big part of the band and helped bring us were we are today. For that we are thankful for. We are still brothers and that bond will never die. He is currently training to become a Volunteer Fire Fighter and is loving every minute of it. Our Hearts goes out to him and all of the other members of this great professional field.As for our active bassist, that would be the Oz....
Sounds Like: Much Love for the WV Metal Maiden!!!!!
