Local Spotlight: To Tell The Tale

Written By: Sean

Self described as pop punk/rock on their myspace To Tell The Tale (sometimes abbreviated as T4) is an energetic new outfit in their local scene. Hailing from Ontario's Durham Region, To Tell The Tale is a group of dudes who seem to want nothing more than to party and make their fans dance all night. Known to be extremely fan friendly T4's infectious blend of melody and pop rock is arguably just as friendly as they are. The band currently only has two songs available for listen on their myspace but if you've ever found yourself tapping your foot along to Mayday Parade or singing along to a You Me At Six song we highly recommend that you give To Tell The Tale a listen.


Considering that the band features a return to the music scene for 4 out of 5 members of the now defunct Enter Ghost, you'd expect to see some of the same stuff that made the synth laden post-hardcore band one of Durham Regions most loved local bands mixed into the T4 sound. Despite this, in commendable fashion, the boys have turned over a new leaf, trading in their breakdowns and eurodance inspired samples for melody and song structures that will make you want to clap along [with dual vocals seemingly being the only thing present in both bands.]

With potential to quite possibly become the most popular local underground band of that genre since These Silhouettes, we here at MD applaud the T4 boys for adopting a sound that isn't necessarily the most preferred in the current breakdown obsessed music local scene. Working hard as ever the boys have been touring all across the GTA trying to establish their name.

The wait for new material isn't going to be a long one either as according to the bands official myspace the boys plan unleash their 7-track EP which was produced and recorded by Derek Hoffman (Brighter Brightest) sometime in the Summer of 2010.
