Team Tomato

About Me

we are from st. louis, where the red rocker is king. so what do we do? write paradoxical new classics, for the right reason (no reason at all). we're a scene unto ourselves. our songs walk the walk and our name doesn't start with 'the'.
"What does Team Tomato sound like? Take the grungy garage rock of Guided by Voices, then throw in the twisted pop melodies and burnt-sugar twang of 1980s R.E.M. and some ragged bar band bluster." Annie Zaleski, Music Editor, Riverfront Times St. Louis.

TEAM TOMATO is pleased to announce the release of their third album together. Cheers.
