TheTensionBand

The Tension is a rock band from New York City, consisting of vocalist Jack Staffen, guitarists Jack Moulton and Daniel Risdon, bassist Gabe Simon and drummer Damien Moffitt. The band formed in the summer of 2010 and soon recorded a powerful 3 song demo produced by Tomato (Sound Of Urchin, etc.) and Doug Gillard (Guided By Voices, etc.). After taking a year to write, rehearse, and play shows, The Tension went back to the studio in June 2011 to record a full 10 song self-titled album. Recorded at New York City's Stratosphere Sound and released in October 2011, the album captures a band whose songwriting and performance are beyond its years.
