Derek

This brand new original band started when Jimmy Kinder moved to SC and met a great drummer by the name of Jonathon Price.For years,the two of them tried out several players,but no one really fit their style.In 2005,lead guitarist Jimmy and drummer John decided to place an ad in the IWANNA newsletter.This turned out to be a great decision,and they had discovered their bass player,Danny Patterson. The wheels were turning,but no great sound that they created could be accompanied with the vocals that they knew they needed.The three of them played together for a year,going from one singer to the next,never really feeling inspired.Once again,the band turned to the IWANNA.Within weeks,they found the answer they had been looking for.They found Derek Massi.Derek was new to the area and looking to get back with a good band.The four hit it off instantly.Although all the members of Tension are great players,there is something else;They click.There is something about them all that made them not only bandmates,but friends also.Tension is a newer band,but they have a few festivals and shows under their belt already,and the crowd response is phenomenal.
