New live session from TC TENET

Rising from London’s alternative rock scene, TC TENET is a one-man musical force serving up a powerful sound that’s struck a chord with fans across the UK and beyond. Stacked with gritty guitars and poetic defiance, his songs carry both the weight of the world and the glow of something human, offering a sound that bridges the honesty of personal storytelling and the broader chaos of societal unrest.

Making his debut in 2023 with the explosive single “Catch Me If I Fall,” TC TENET rapidly established himself as a fierce new voice. It wasn’t just the sharp guitar work or impassioned vocals that caught ears, it was also the enduring quality of his songwriting. That output carried through to his debut EP Breakaway, a project that drew praise for its searing impact and razor-sharp production.

While music is his artistic vehicle, the message is always what matters most; from tackling the emptiness of consumer culture, sounding the alarm on climate change, or diving into the complex waters of equality and justice, TC TENET crafts music that means something more. It’s at once personal and political, shaped by a sense of collective responsibility and an unshakable belief in the possibility of change.

Following the success of his first EP, TC TENET has recorded a live video sessions featuring three of his original songs, “Get Away,” “Animals” and “Thu Guru,” recorded at Arcus Sounds in London. No overdubs, no post-trickery, just the pure performance of the artist and his band at full tilt. The result is a visceral punch of alternative rock energy, where compelling backbeats and emphatic collide with unapologetically honest lyricism.

Commenting on the live sessions, TC TENET shares, “These songs were originally written and recorded by me, in the shed in my backyard. It was such a thrill to bring these to life by playing them with a live band. I couldn’t thank the musicians enough who took on this journey with me.”

Bringing us the perfect taste from those sessions, he shares the video for “Animals,” with TC backed by a trio of gifted musicians featuring Alex Colombo on drums, David Needle on guitar and backing vocals and Jeremi Szczepkowski on bass. Kicked off by the patter of rolling drums, the twang of lead guitar and pulse of bass, the energy swells before launching into a grooving rock outing capped by commanding vocal leads.

With TC TENET leading on vocals and guitar, the band combine to serve up a shaking rock jam packed full of catchy hooks and slick tension-building arrangement. It’s a stellar live session that captures a band laying down and epic performance of TC’s enthralling rock anthem. With each release, TC TENET continues to prove that you can make music that’s both vital and vulnerable, ferocious yet reflective and we can’t wait to see what comes next from this talented artist on the rise.
