Built from the ashes of For Love Not Lisa (East/West, Elektra), Chainsaw Kittens (Mammoth/Atlantic), Puller (Tooth & Nail) and Blenderhead (Tooth & Nail), Tenkiller draws from their collective experiences in the alternative and punk rock scenes and brings a fresh perspective to Americana/Alt-Country music.
Burn The Boats delivers a compelling narrative woven through heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies. While the album showcases the band’s southern roots, it also infuses elements of punk and alternative rock, adding a gritty edge to the melodic rock ‘n’ roll vibe that defines Tenkiller’s sound. From anthemic rockers to introspective ballads, the album explores themes of resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of new beginnings.
With their roots firmly planted in the heartlands of Oklahoma and Tennessee, Tenkiller emerges as a beacon of authenticity in today’s music landscape. Burn The Boats marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band, inviting listeners to embark on a journey through the rustic sounds of Americana and southern rock, with just the right amount attitude.
