Torndown

Torndown is a hard rock band from New England. The group uses heavy, yet melodic riffs and heart-pounding percussion to energize their audience while at the same time projecting thought-provoking, meaningful lyrics to create a personal connection. They are honest and transparent about what motivates and inspires them, and what they aim to accomplish with their message of hope.
The group is defined by the power of their live performances and the passionate, honest dedication of band members Tim Irish, Eric Armstrong, and Dan Kuchta. Tim offers, "It is our belief everyone can relate to a message involving good and evil... light and darkness... a message inspired from personal hardships but also immeasurable joy."
Each member views the band as a family. "I consider myself extremely fortunate to have bandmates like Eric and Dan" offers Tim. "When we write music, it comes naturally and it feels right. We know what each person is thinking. The end result is we appreciate each other's passion, we have respect for each other, and each member's talents are complimented by the others." Eric adds "Tim was the best man at my wedding. Tim and I were groomsmen at Dan's wedding. This goes so much deeper than getting together for rehearsals, writing sessions, and shows. These are my brothers." Dan confirms "Tim and Eric are like brothers to me. When we aren't making music together, we go out and have good times." As part of their trip to North Carolina, the trio camped out for three consecutive nights, two of which included torrential downpour and heavy lightening. Back home, they are just as likely to be found cruising around on Tim's boat as they are in the rehearsal space. "Our adventures are the stuff of legends" exclaims Dan. "Weathering a hurricane while camping! Sailing the high seas! It is always epic!" As a family, each individual contributes to the collective, broader vision of Torndown.
The message is a simple one. Light will always win out over darkness. Good will always prosper over evil. "We share relatable struggles and challenges of life" offers Dan. "Then we illustrate how people can overcome those struggles." Tim adds "We don't stray away from the human struggles of this world. Instead, we embrace them... so we can defeat them. Our faith has driven us to embrace the inevitable darkness we all face in this life and drag that darkness into the light." Even with their core beliefs, Torndown's reach stretches beyond simply spiritual circles. In fact, the group is just as comfortable playing in clubs as it is faith-based events and churches. "The truth is, Christian or not, we all have our daily struggles" Eric shares. "Our hope is that everyone can connect with our message of positivity and use it to overcome their own personal struggles."
