About Me

15% hails from San Antonio, Texas. Formed in 1998, the foursome performs all original music with the occasional unconventional cover tune. The band displays their genuine love of music by providing a diverse blend of genres that one might not expect to see at your average rock show. Though 15% has a difficult time identifying with one particular label, they describe themselves as heavy experimental rock, combined with jazz and a slight touch of pop. 15% seeks to challenge accessible music and to provide a happy medium between art and entertainment. And they kick your mother's ass.
