Fabian and Donald, original members of Grasstainz and the famed Scrunchie, decided life was passing them by.
In their mid-twenties they were already burned out and wanted relief from the everyday stresses of work, family and basic responsibility in general.
Fortunately for them they were both talented so they decided to give music one more shot. Fabian dusted off his old Guild and dragged his Carvin amp out
from the back of the closet and Donald went out like a big spender and
bought a new pair of drumsticks. They got together once a week, worked on new material and reminisced about
how the old stuff wasn't so bad.
Before they knew it, our two heroes started to make music that impressed even themselves.
Fabian gained a new confidence and found his ability to play guitar and sing simultaneously. Meanwhile Donald was still psyched about his new drumsticks.
Donald came up with wicked phat beats to enhance Fabians dope lyrical style.
The result? Something on the verge of...being pretty damn good.
"Something's missing." said Fabian over a cup of thick black diner coffee. "Yeah" nodded Donald.
So Fabian decided to post an ad on the internet. Guitarist and Bassist needed,
backup vocals a plus, our influences are STP,Foo Fighters,Ataris, etc...,
it read. An overwhelming amount of talent responded. Fabian and Donald had the pick of the litter.
Of the many, talented musical prodigies to arrive at Dare Studios, one guitarist by the name of Jeremy stood out.
His intense leads coupled with his chatty, chatty, chatty, chatty, chatty, personality was a perfect fit. Soon after, Frank, a primo bassist
with a double-decker punk rock and sub-conciously buried 80's metal influence (F.Y.I. former mullet victim) joined too. It is he who we have to thank for this website, Thanks Frank.
So there we have a brief biography of a simple Long Island band named TEN SPEED who practices every week in the hopes that
a Kung Fu Record angel drops from the sky and gives them a big duckets contract. Until then, they continue to make themselves proud as well as their
significant others (yes girls, those hunky dudes are taken).
They recently made their first Demo and you can check out their sound on these here fine MP3's.
So guh head wit ya bad selves TEN SPEED - fuck Warped tour, onto the Downtown and then some!! You're just a pick and a dream away from glory.
