Bands like Pentagram, Mos Generator, Hot Spring Water, and the so-called supergroup Big Scenic Nowhere are just a small part of his discography, which he continues to expand as a producer and mixer.\u003cbr\u003eCONSTANCE TOMB was Tony Reed’s first band, which he founded at age 19 and which was heavily influenced by the gothic movement of the early ’80s. There are recordings online from when they made “boombox recordings” or, later, when he recorded everything “hi-fi” on his own in the garage with just a microphone, preserving it all for posterity on cassettes. You can also find several solo cover versions released\u003cbr\u003eunder the band’s name. It was a labor of love that Tony Reed never let go of, but there was never a real band that toured or released an album—until now!\u003cbr\u003eNow Tony has breathed new life into his childhood love, CONSTANCE TOMB, and fused his fondness for dark ’80s bands with his heavy metal past. Bands like Southern Cult, Bauhaus, The Cure, Bowie, as well as Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy have shaped his musical tastes. Now, a mix of old and new songs is being infused with fresh energy, reviving a solo project that had taken on a slightly artificial feel.\u003cbr\u003eWith Bo McConaghie on bass and Christian Roney on drums, the band has already played its first concerts in the northwestern United States to find their sound as a group. Joint rehearsals and studio sessions have given rise to a band that is now tackling its debut album and future tours together.\u003cbr\u003eCrash-heavy post-punk? Riff-driven proto-goth? Dark punk? However you want to categorize it, it’s dark in that genre drawer, and styles blend together in the twilight. The fun and spontaneity within the band are unmistakable, and you might even question the year of release. CONSTANCE TOMB is an exciting newcomer band with nearly four decades of history and an album that sounds both fresh and seasoned. And that’s something special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eSome items are available for pre-order.
