10 Bay 4 formed in Philadelphia around 2010 as a trio with Andrew Tufaro on vocals and guitar, Aaron Basi on bass and vocals, and Anthony Johnson on drums. They put out their first EP in 2012, which included the track "3:48." That song became something of a calling card for them, appearing again on their 2014 debut album "We Are 10 Bay 4."
Their music pulls from alternative rock and electronic textures, with songs like "7 Hours Less Tomorrow" and "Brutally Honest" showing their range. They followed the debut album with another EP called "Young Blood" in 2016. In 2015, they dealt with some public scrutiny over a plagiarism accusation related to a track on their album, but they kept working.
The band's sound is built on Tufaro's vocals and guitar work, Basi's bass lines, and Johnson's drumming. Other songs in their catalog, such as "Asiatic Ashley" and "Keys To The Wall," reflect their interest in blending straightforward rock energy with more atmospheric touches.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
