Description:
T I N Y L U N D is a three piece highenergy indie/rock band from Omaha Nebraska.. They were formed in the fall of 2000. The sound of the band is fast-paced driving rock, but at the sametime the band is not heavy or grungy. Some of the band's influences include such acts as HUM, HUSKER DU, ARCHERS OF LOAF, and THE MINUTEMEN.... With a naturally raspy two packs a-day voice, lead vocalist/bass player Eric Baughman vocally adds a dimension indigenous to TINYLUND only. Combined with guitarist Jon Fordyce's refusal to play bar-chords, and backed up by drummer Joe Foster's hard driving Grant Hart style of drumming, The band strives to put on a loud energenic show.
