About Me

TDA are a band that play music
Come and see us at a dive near you
THE METRO NEWSPAPER love us, you should to:
''offering an ear bleeding blend of pulsing rhythms, screeching guitars...crafted under the skies of some apolcalyptic landscape...codified rhythms and carefully structured guitars coming together to create an unpolished cut of math rock''
NARC MAGAZINE also appear to be particularly titilated:
''TDA are one of the most underrated bands in Newcastle at the moment, their live show is comparable to witnessing an intensely localised carpet bombing. Huge drums, furious riffs and heartfelt howls puncture the safety of the room, no matter how much distance is between you and the band, you can’t help but be enthralled by the band, gripped by the throat and thrown about the room to the dischordant, chaotic noise-rock, DEMO OF THE MONTH''
STAR AND SHADOW CINEMA are pretty smitten:
''Dark and emotional math rock from loud and uncompromising local band. Taut, tense and angular with hints of old-school US hardcore''
If you have no taste at all, you can buy our E.P. from all good local record shops (Alt Vinyl, Beatdown Records, RPM) for £4 or via PayPal (+£1 P&P):
