10 YEARS
DEBUT VIDEO FOR “KNIVES”
ON LOUDWIRE.COM TODAY
NEW SONG OFF THE BAND’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM
‘MINUS THE MACHINE’
OUT TUESDAY, AUGUST 7
HEADLINING TOUR UNDERWAY NOW
ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW AT ITUNES
Leading up to the release of their new album, 10 YEARS has just debuted a video for the song “Knives.” Up now at Loudwire.com, the never-before-heard track is off the band’s forthcoming album MINUS THE MACHINE, out Tuesday, August 7 on their own label Palehorse Records, a partnership with Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group (ILG). Fans that pre-order the new album from the band on the road will receive a “Knives” mP3 as a free download.
The video, which can be seen here http://loudwire.com/10-years-knives-exclusive-video-premiere/, is a video montage of a day-in-life of the Knoxville-based quartet–with “Knives” as the sonic backdrop–and offers fans a glimpse into life on the road. The group kicked off their U.S. headlining tour last week with support from Fair To Midland and Kyng. The 20-plus dates include a hometown show July 6 in Knoxville, TN, as well as two festival appearances: Rockfest July 20 in Cadott, WI and Summerjam on August 4 in Centreville, VA (dates below).
10 YEARS released MINUS THE MACHINE’s first single “Backlash” on June 19. The hard driving track debuted #35 on the Active Rock radio chart and continues to garner more spins. Fans can pre-order the album now at iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/minus-the-machine/id540566595. A special deluxe version of the album with three bonus tracks is also available here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/minus-machine-deluxe-edition/id540754400.
In addition to self-releasing this album, 10 YEARS—JESSE HASEK (Lead Vocals), BRIAN VODINH (Guitar/Drums), RYAN “TATER” JOHNSON (Guitar/Screams) and LEWIS COSBY (Bass)–produced MINUS THE MACHINE themselves. The result is a 12-song collection, sonically powerful, hauntingly beautiful and textured, while lyrically exposed, intimate and personal. Most importantly, MINUS THE MACHINE undoubtedly represents the soul of 10 YEARS.
“First and foremost, when it’s all said and done, we’re proud of this album in its entirety,” HASEK says. “That speaks volumes to us because we’re our own worst critics. We pick everything apart. An album is your child, it’s your baby, and you know it better than anyone. To sit back and be 100 percent proud of what we’ve accomplished is so gratifying, and we think everything else will fall into place. We hope that everyone will enjoy what we’ve tried to do.”
