People say this...

Tellison is a self-determining unit without girls from Hammersmith, West London in Britain near France. Drums, Bass, Cowbells, Two Broken Guitars, Four Broken Voices, One Wounded Laptop, some Extra-Curricular instruments and pure, wild-eyed, old-fashioned fight. Conversations, concert attendance and an educational institution brought them together and time spent on motorways in transit vans cemented friendships. They play what is best described as independant popular music. With disarming melodies and big-hearted guitars. You're going to love them


"Their treble-layered harmonies and quirky energetic songs recall the sense, if not the sound, of The Get Up Kids in their early days... a wonderful sense of hope, regret and youthful abandon" - KERRANG!

"This band deserve your love" - Rock Sound

"Tellison are fucking great." - Play Dead Single Of The Issue, Issue 18

"Thank fuck then for TELLISON, who in just a few bars of their opening song banish the memory of what’s gone before and proceed to remind me just why they really are one of the best young British bands around" - A Short Fanzine About Rocking

cool. hopefully make it to the dundee one on friday

how did the rest of your tour go tom?

[Tam o' Shantie]

was alright until blackpool, we were supposed to get money & sleep and were given neither, the venue was run by tools who refused to give us a penny, sound guy was a moron (who did stuff like fed the whole mix through the drum monitor and claimed he didn't know how to change it) and hence we had to fork out for a travel lodge - ate into most of the money we made over the first few gigs! we did go down south after that but pulled out of the last couple of gigs cos we had a few days off in between and couldn't afford to fuck around. managed to 'shift some units' though and flogged off a few tshirts too, did you get a chance to check out the 7" yet?

bummer dude, one of them things, im taking the approach that we will be getting paid £10 per gig on our upcoming tour

i enjoyed the gig at drouthies, certainly have come a long way since the drakes days.

had a couple of listens to the record the day after, sounded pretty sweet, rough around the edges (in a good way). good couple of tunes you have there!
