STOP THE BLEEDING – The Tourniquet Tribute with SPOKEN [JUN 7]

STOP THE BLEEDING – The Tourniquet Tribute

Featuring Original Tourniquet Members Guy Ritter, Gary Lenaire, & Luke Easter

Tourniquet was an American Christian metal band that formed in Los Angeles in 1990. The band was founded by Ted Kirkpatrick, Guy Ritter, and Gary Lenaire. Luke Easter joined the band as lead vocalist when Guy Ritter left in 1993 to pursue another project.

Tourniquet primarily performed a mixture of thrash, progressive, and neoclassical metal, and was influenced by additional, non-rock forms of music such as classical and world music. It earned six GMA Dove Award nominations and won multiple recognitions from the readers of HM Magazine, including “Favorite Band of the 1990s” and “Favorite Album of the 1990s” for Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance (1992). The band released ten studio albums, two live albums, four compilation albums, one EP, and several video releases. Tourniquet has sold more than 300,000 albums.

SPOKEN

Christian heavy rock band Spoken formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1996. Initially, the band had a nu-metal sound. It wasn’t until their third record, Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell, that they began to get much heavier. It wasn’t until their 2007 Self-Titled release that the band went full Linkin Park.

They emerged from a short hiatus in 2013 for Illusion, their first album of new material in six years. In early 2017 the band dropped a pair of singles, “I Will Not Fade” and “Stronger”, in anticipation of the release of their aptly named ninth album, IX, which was released in that September.
