TUNDRA

I feel like I'm in Siberia fending off wolves

About Me

Tundra started in April 2005 and ended after our last show on March 10th, 2006. In that time we played around 50 shows(most of which were on our 6 week tour in the late Summer of '05), put out a split cd with our old band Gods Among Men and will have a final 5 song release out in April on cd. We were quite proud of the epic noise we created but decided it'd be best to call it a day after our viola player Justin Blatt decided he would be moving to Chapel Hill, NC in March to be with his girlfriend. We appreciate the highly positive and enthusiastic response everyone gave us during our brief but eventful existence. Keep an eye out for the final recording...this shit is seriously the best thing we've done and we want people to hear it as much as possible without the help of a label or good distribution. A one-off show this Summer or some other time isn't out of the question either, though that might be a little early for any type of "reunion" if we even decide to play again. Thanks for your support!
