Pete's blog (Part 2) – On the Wire Re-release [April 2019]

In my last blog I wrote about the writing and recording process of the album. But that was just one part of all that was going on regarding Tenek in 2010 and also 2011 which proved to be a pivotal year for the band. The artwork and promo pics for the album started as...

Pete's Blog – Stateless Re-Release (Part II) [March, 2018]

So as we prepare to re-issue 'Stateless' nine years from it's original date of release I thought I should write a proper blog about the album, how it came about and what the album means to me personally. We'd formed tenek in 2007, even though Geoff and myself had been...

Pete's Blog – Stateless Re-Release (Part I) [March, 2018]
