Torn Elements began as the combined efforts of two siblings saturated by music throughout their youths. Sound interesting? Keep reading . . .
Becca and Mikenstein started showing interests in music when they began jamming on their parents' instruments as children. They quickly decided to pick up guitar and bass, respectively, and showed no signs of becoming casualties to the phases teens usually go through with musical instruments. In 1987, at the ages of 11 and 9, they formed their first punk band, Angry Youth, with an older sister, Jen, and several friends. Somehow this band endured for 13 years, through three states, college hiatus, and the accident, which took Jen's life. All of these experiences made the musical bond stronger and became the inspiration for much of the music.
In 2001, with a new drummer already well seasoned, Angry Youth became Torn Elements with the addition of a lead guitarist. For two years the band began to make a name for itself in the Baltimore/DC scene. With that, Torn Elements was formed from a group of people with not much in common except for a passion to put out real music about real life and real experiences.
Currently, Torn Elements is auditioning drummers and lead guitarists. Please contact us at management@tornelements.com if you are interested. Many exciting opportunities are in the works along with the recording of a demo album.
