the 10 db s

Genre: Modern Rock
Starting Date: 2006-07-27

The 10 dB's started as the brainchild of highschool mates Walter Lay (drums) and Forest Wilson (vocals) in Year 24, who invited on their turn Lianne Brantley to bass with their band. Daniel Flood (violin), Laura Pelletier (keyboard & cello) and Inga Darden (electric guitar) soon followed. They were a local underground band in Los Angeles for a couple of years, until they embarked on their first world tour in Year 27. A single followed, and once they released their first album “10 dB`s… More!” in Year 30, they had their breakthrough in the Modern Rock scene. They entered the top 100 of their genre soon after.

Just before New Year's Eve of Year 31, Isa Birnie joined the band to act as a second guitarist. Their original guitarist Inga Darden had been battling both alcohol addiction and a depression at that point, and Isa was initially hired as a backup. Soon after though the situation with Inga spiralled out of control, ending with her leaving the band and committing suicide soon after. However, with Isa in the band everyone could finally focus on the music and the party again. They participated in the Back to Basic tour and were wildly successful, competing and holding their own against established bands like Mo's and Rebel Justice. From there on, the 10 dB's train started rolling in earnest and they stormed the charts until they were a well-known top 10 contender in their genre. Their highest position has been #1, which they reached at the moment of their disbanding.

All things must end though. Just after New Year of Year 35 the news came that the 10 dB's would be splitting up at the end of their latest tour to pursue new interests. They finished their tour with their heads held high, performing better than ever. After their farewell show in Brussels on Day 31 of Year 35, in which they played all of their old hits and got ridiculously drunk with their friends and fellow competitors, it turned out that they had reached the #1 position on the moment of their disbanding. The band is on record as being deliriously happy with this fact, calling it 'poetic justice'.
