ABOUT THE ARTIST:
The Ten Pound Factor is comprised of an intricate layering of instrumentation and vocal harmony: acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, drums, and percussion. These harmonies are woven to create a sound all its own. The vocal harmonies have a meaning themselves, blending with the music in a Beach Boys style. Yet, refreshingly you''ll hardly find any "love songs" here; the lyrics focus primarily on life issues. The group is the brainchild of Ryan Chisholm, whose vision seeps through the songs. He records and produces the music and instruments (minus the drums), as artists like Trent Reznor. Ryan layers the songs with details and intricacies that keep you discovering new interpretations and meanings with each listen. Beatlesque bass lines dance along with a raw electric guitar sound reminiscent of Guns ''N'' Roses, based on a primarily two-guitar interplay. The drums have an R&B meets rock feel, with distinct bass drum beats that keep your feet stompin'' and tambourines and shakers that keep your body movin''. There''s also a delicate blend of piano and acoustic guitar that softens some of the songs.
BIOGRAPHY:
Ryan Chisholm grew up at the dawn of MTV, in the "glam rock" era of music. His best friend began teaching him guitar in the 6th grade. Eventually they decided to form a band. Since they needed a drummer - enter Ryan''s brother, Chris, who was more than willing to fill the position. From there they began playing high school and Halloween parties, peforming covers of Guns ''N'' Roses, Tesla, and the Black Crowes. It was during this period that Ryan began writing songs, wanting to express himself through music and pushing the band to do originals. Eventually, the band dissolved. Luckily, while working at a record and tape store, Ryan met a fellow employee who played guitar and had a 4-track home studio. They got together to play. Ryan wrote music and played acoustic guitar, while his friend played electric. Ryan became entranced with writing and recording songs. The duo released a demo EP in 1993 under the name, "Tungus Grumph and Wax." This outlet was a much easier way for Ryan to express himself and get his ideas out, rather than in a band setting. It also taught him the basics of recording and arranging songs. After they split, Ryan and Chris invested in their own recording equipment. They recorded 3 demo EPs between 1994 and 1998, leading up to their 2004 full-length release, "Fed ''Til We''re Dead."
