Biog / Info
Ten Seconds Of Chaos have been busy hand-sculpting their sound from an already established prototype in the confines of a secret location in Leeds. Their brand of highly energetic, melodic rawk has been constantly evolving over time; creating a breed of powerful choruses, foot-stomping rhythms, passionate vocals, thunderous drums & driving bass-lines, which all combine with reflective interludes.

A great number of influences have been thrown into the sonic mixer, bands with passion, melody & energy have all played their part, & there is something different about this outcome; “…this band manage to make something regularly done sound unique & interesting.” The results of this can be best appreciated live in the high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled shows, or by standing in front of your speakers, turning it up, & letting it hit you like a wall of sound.

The last EP ‘On Second Thoughts’ was entirely self-recorded and mixed by the band. With differing studio recording outcomes in the past, the band feels this is way the way forward for the time being, in producing the live, raw feel they strive for. The EP was well received by numerous reviewers & DJ’s, including Steve Lamaqc who played the track ‘Face The problem’ on his Radio 1 show. With many new songs waiting to be unleashed, a new recording is imminent.

With past efforts earning TSOC a place at the Carling Weekend Leeds Festival, the single-minded determination towards a common goal, the openness to fresh ideas, the genuine excitement & enthusiasm, and the ever-present creativity will hopefully see the band reach their potential and let their genuine voice be heard on a much larger scale.

Press
“Soaring rock music…the best surprise I have had all year!”
Leedsmusicscene.co.uk (Apr 05)

“A master class in how melodic rawk should be.”
Heathenangel.co.uk (June 05)

"Immediate and frantic riff-peddlers belting out forceful sub three minute anger nuggets through gritted teeth…Tighter than Jordan’s bra with more genuine content.“
Sandman Magazine (Sept 04)

“Passion and energy in every note, in every scream, and in every word….if the neighbours weren’t awake before, they sure are now!”
Studentguru.co.uk (June 05)

“It will be a crime against music and probably humanity if these guys aren’t commanding the attention of thousands at festivals everywhere within the next two years.”
Glasswerk.co.uk (Aug 05)

“The perfect mixture of intelligent, catchy melodic musicianship with a huge dose of raw testicular fortitude that packs a severe jaw dislocating punch. If Weezer, Biffy Clyro and Slayer ended up having kids (don’t ask me how, probably some sort of test tube related offspring), then TSOC would be their rock & roll devil children hell-bent on getting us all sweaty and giddy in the pit.”
Groovestealer.co.uk (July 05)

“Whether it be the pitch perfect vocals or the complete and utter sonic whip lash inducing waveforms that these guys produce you just can’t help but be impressed.”
Leedsmusicscene.co.uk (June 04)

“So jam packed with catches and hooks that they should work for a Velcro company or something. It’s big, loud stuff, full of blistering guitars, soaring vocals and big, heavy drumming, not to mention the tunefulness .”
Sandman Magazine (May 05)
