Details:
Tunghook, based in the Mid-Missouri area, were formed in Feb. 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.
Tunghookâs 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 CDs, the debut from 1999 MECHANIZED,
2000âs SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, & the 2001 live release,
ENTER STAGE RIGHT. Tunghook also opened for some great national
acts during this period, including Kingâs X & 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, 2005âs PSYCLONE. All of Tunghookâs
records have sold very well worldwide over the last 7 years, & in 2005,
the band donated all profits to relief for hurricane victims. Tunghook plan
to resume playing live shows in 2006, & hope to re-establish themselves
as a legitimate live act. For more info on the band, including MP3âs,
