The Essex singer-songwriter builds raw, personal rock around his own experiences with anxiety and love.
For the rawest version of what Ten Tonnes does, start with "Lucy." Then try "Counting Down" for that same direct emotional pull in a rock setting.
Ten Tonnes started as a way for Ethan Barnett to handle what he called the weight of his emotions. Songs like "Counting Down" and "Too Late" carry that straightforward, emotive rock sound he built the project around. His breakout single "Lucy" was a haunting ballad drawn directly from his own experiences with love and loss.
Barnett began the Ten Tonnes solo project in 2016. He's been open about his struggles with anxiety and depression, discussing them publicly in interviews around 2019. Other songs like "Missing You" and "Silver Heat" continue in that vein of personal songwriting.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
