The Ten Year Program

Digital Killed the Radio Star

About Me

After years upon years of playing rock music in various outfits, we have taken it upon ourselves to put things back into perspective. These are songs written for the sole purpose of creating and sharing music, nothing more. Our experiences over the past ten years have shown that the music industry, more times than not, is more about industry than it is about music, and in so many ways that's the part neither one of us feels like dealing with.
This isn't some bash on corporate America or the business aspects of music and especially not on those bands who've busted their asses getting the recognition they deserve.
Simply put, this is our musicial vision, take it or leave it, all songs are free to download and we ask nothing more than dropping us a line every now and then if you like what you hear.
This project is the culmination of ten years of writing, playing, touring, succeeding (on some levels) and failing in others.
Our goal is and continues to be to write music that we love with the hope that someone who hears it appreciates what we do as much as we appreciate them for listening.Keep checking back for new songs. And to everyone that has been supporting us like crazy over the past few months, you have no idea how much that means... you are amazing!!! -TYPEVERY SONG NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD FOR FREE BY CLICKING BELOW!!!!
