Album Notes

Tunghook, based in the Mid-Missouri area, were formed in Jan. 1997 by bassist Eric Field & vocalist/guitarist Matt Tebow. Guitarist Mike Lear & drummer T.J. Hendren make up the rest of the current line-up. Tunghook's music is very diverse, but generally categorized as Metal. From 1997-2002, the band played many shows locally & regionally, & developed a very strong & loyal following in the mid-west. During this time, Tunghook released three CD's, the debut from 1999 MECHANIZED, 2000's SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, & the 2001 live release, ENTER STAGE RIGHT. Tunghook also opened for some great national acts during this period, including King's X, Galactic Cowboys, & Pissing Razors. 2003-2005 found the band taking a break from doing live performances, but they did, however release two more albums, SHADOWS OF THE PAST in 2003, & their heaviest album, 2005's PSYCLONE. In 2006, the band resumed playing live performances, reassuring all that Tunghook is still a fearsome live force to be reckoned with. 2007 begins with a new CD release, the 2 CD retrospective, 10 YEARS OF TUNGHOOK 1997-2006, more live performances, & a few suprises to come!
