History
10 Years was initially formed in
Knoxville, Tennessee in 1999 with singer Mike Underdown, drummer Brian Vodinh, bassist Lewis Cosby, and guitarists Ryan "Tater" Johnson and Matt Wantland. In 2001, Cosby left and the band recruited Andy Parks on bass. They independently recorded
Into the Half Moon
the same year. They soon recruited current vocalist
Jesse Hasek from another local band. In 2002, Parks decided to leave the band and Cosby returned; this is their current line-up. The band then released their independent album
Killing All That Holds You
in 2004. 10 Years were then signed to
Republic/Universal in 2005 and released their major label debut,
The Autumn Effect
on
August 16 2005 with the songs "Wasteland" and "Through The Iris" picking up regional radio play. That same summer the band toured with
Disturbed and
Ill Niño. In the fall of 2005, they toured with
Breaking Benjamin and
Smile Empty Soul, then followed up with the Masters of Horror tour with
Mudvayne and
Sevendust. They also opened for Korn and Mudvayne on Korn's See You On The Other Side tour. They also toured with
Korn and
Deftones on the
Family Values Tour, which started in late July 2006.
Mid-2006, the band toured Australia in a lineup which included
Hatebreed,
Disturbed and
Korn
Their first single, "
Wasteland" spent over 12 months on the Rock charts, finally reaching #1 at Active Rock in December 2005. In mid February 2006, "Wasteland" reached #1 on both Alternative and Billboard Modern Rock charts. Their first two singles, Through the Iris and Wasteland, have been certified Gold by the
RIAA.
Their first music video, "Wasteland", addresses the social problem of human rights as well as addiction around the world. The video received a nomination for Best Direction and Best Art Direction at the 2006
MTV Video Music Awards, but failed to win either award.
On
March 27, an EP was released on iTunes containing acoustic versions of "Wasteland" and other tracks from their debut album
The Autumn Effect.
On
November 19, 10 Years unveiled and confirmed the title "Division" for their upcoming album on their
MySpace Friend Status.
