Tension / Release Records

Tension / Release Records Tension Release Records focuses on promoting garage rock revival bands hailing from states that border the Mississippi River.

The timeless appeal of the original 1960s garage rock genre and its subsequent revivals in the 1980s and 2000s lies in its back-to-basics, organic nature. It’s a sound that everyone can understand and appreciate. While the modern garage rock revival movement is commonly associated with larger American cities like New York (The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Detroit (The White Stripes, the Von Bondi

es), as well as other countries (The Hives, Jet, The Vines), the sound is alive and well throughout the Midwest and South too with artists such as Kings of Leon (Nashville, TN), Bass Drum of Death (Oxford, MS) and Cage the Elephant (Bowling Green, KY). Tension Release Records is dedicated to supporting up-and-coming garage rock revival bands from what are normally ignored as “flyover states” and introducing them to a wider national and international audience.

FYI. Bryan Sutter, the coolest guy in St. Louis, was nominated for best music photographer. Go see his work below. Yeah, he's that cool and yeah it's that good.

2013 ended up being the year that brought back my confidence as a photographer. After almost 3 years as the house photographer for one of the region’s leading small capacity venues it was tough finding my new identity as a music photographer in a St. Louis, the littlest big town in the country.
