Release Notes:
Tenderhooks is a lyrical country-rock band with a progressive bent, hailing from
Knoxville, TN's small but eclectic music scene. Principal songwriters Jake
Winstrom and Benjamin Oyler met in high school and have been nurturing their
creative collaboration ever since, developing a singular and powerful brand of
song-craft. The duo's literate, witty wordplay and inventive melodicism is
brought to life by Winstrom's plaintive vocals and soaring range. Oyler's
idiosyncratic leads and crunchy riffs add an edgy, Duane
Allman-meets-Tom-Verlaine fury to the fold, while bassist Emily Robinson's
lilting vocal harmonies provide the perfect accompaniment for Winstrom's unusual
voice. Robinson's melodic, McCartney-esque bass lines also give an essential
contrast to the band's often cryptic lyricism. The rhythm section is texturally
and rhythmically filled out by drummer Matt Honkonen's inventive, jazz-inflected
percussion work. Having just completed their first full length LP, Vidalia, with
Don Coffey Jr. (ex-Superdrag), and signing with Knoxville's Rock Snob Records,
the band is poised for east coast tour and national takeover.
