Though their songs are sharp, upbeat, and catchy, Tenement aren't just another pop-punk band (and not just because they don't care for the phrase "pop-punk"); boasting a lyrical intelligence and eagerness to improvise that sets them apart from their peers, Tenement deliver a powerful live show while revealing a more nuanced and experimental side in the studio. In 2011, Tenement released their first album, Napalm Dream, a set the trio had been working on since 2009; the group's second full-length release, The Blind Wink, also appeared in late 2011. Don Giovanni Records released Tenement's long-awaited third album, Predatory Headlights, in June 2015. ~ Mark Deming
