Bio!

Hailing from Huntsville, AL. the southern regions of the U.S. Began In 2010 by Christian Youngblood and later joined by Paul DuPont, Brennan Persing, and Johnny Decay. Christian wanted to create a band merging together horror, punk, rock n’ roll, and heavy metal to create a sound both dark and unlike most others in their local music scene. Gaining a following quickly in their local arenas, they battled their way through the local bar scene and into bigger and better venues with their high energy and edgy but welcoming stage presence, playing to crowds of many different sizes from no one to thousands! They have been compared often to Misfits, Mourning Noise, Pentagram, Ramones, Fear, Venom, and Black Flag. After overcoming many obstacles they have collectively survived just about anything that could be thrown at a band to stop it and don’t plan to give up anytime soon. A band doesn’t make it this long without determination and that TCK has in spades, this has gained them the notice of record labels, big name festivals, and bands.
