10 years, an awesome band out of knoxville, had one of the most talked about rock music videos in 2006...check it out here courtesy of amnesty international usa...
10 Years were initially formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2000 with a different vocalist, recording Into the Half Moon in 2001, then recruited current vocalist Jesse Hasek from another local band. They released their independent album Killing All That Holds You in 2004, with the songs "Wasteland" and "Through The Iris" picking up regional radio play. 10 Years were then signed to Republic/Universal in 2005 and released their major label debut, The Autumn Effect on August 16, 2005. That same summer the band toured with Disturbed and Ill Niño. In the fall of 2005, they toured with Breaking Benjamin and Smile Empty Soul, then followed up with the Masters of Horror tour with Mudvayne and Sevendust. They recently finished touring with Korn and Deftones on the Family Values Tour, which started in late July 2006.
Mid 2006, the band toured Australia in a line up which included Hatebreed, Disturbed and KornTheir first single, "Wasteland" spent over 12 months on the Rock charts, finally reaching #1 at Active Rock in December 2005. In mid February 2006, "Wasteland" reached #1 on both Alternative and Billboard Modern Rock charts. 10 Years is the first band since June 2004 to reach #1 with their debut single...
Their first music video, "Wasteland", addresses the social problem of human rights around the world. The video received a nomination for Best Direction and Best Art Direction at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, but failed to win either award...ROBBED!
peace out <3
