Most of Modern Rock's problems would be solved if bands just followed the Alice in Chains model. That is, it's OK to be melodramatic and self-serious if you do it in a really cool voice. This Tampa foursome stands apart from Clear Channel's anointed minions with Chains-ian vocals and churning power chords that spell rock "rawk."
10 Second Drop..Powerful, melodic, modern Hard Rock. Fresh yet familiar songs with big, memorable hooks. Crunchy guitars, solid rhythm section and strong, upfront vocals.
Since forming in early 2000, 10SD has played throughout Florida. Based in the Tampa Bay area, they quickly earned the support of Clear Channel radio station 98ROCK (WXTB). 10SD has since played many of the stations' live remotes and concert events.
