The name Ten Story Love comes from a Romance series that began its life as a pulp magazine, shifting to comic book format in the 1950's. They called them pulps because they were printed on cheap paper and were inexpensive, portable, disposable, and often sensational. They were popular from the 1920's to the 1950's.

We play around the New England region, mostly Massachusetts (Boston) and New Hampshire area. We love playing live, but pick & choose our gigs carefully.

...we'll just try to stay honest and write about the things that matter to us.

It all goes back to when the bass player met one of the guitarists back in 1985 where they worked together at a record store. A year later, the bassist met the other guitarist, but it wasn't until 1995 that the 3 started talking about playing together. What started out as a songwriting project quickly became a full-fledged band with the addition of a drummer. We immediately started writing and recording material, much of which ended up on our first CD.

We've been compared to Matthew Sweet, Wilco, and the Gin Blossoms. Other people have said we sound like Cheap Trick, Tom Petty and Todd Rundgren. Your mileage may vary.

Here are a few comments from Reviews we've received:

"Make no mistake. This is one of the tightest sounding bands I've heard in a while. They do what they do in music better than anyone."

"Every now and again a band comes ... and suddenly, you’re in love. Filled with wonderful analogies and superb metaphors, Ten Story Love puts the 'art' back in 'smart'."
-- Oscar Aparicio, Altar Native issue #10, May 1999

"They keep the hits coming, back to back, without any down time in between... Never stale, and always fun, this band keeps things lively from track one to track thirteen."
-- Alex Steininger, In Music We Trust

""When you've got it, you've got it...and Ten Story Love has all that and more. Punchy, poppy, upbeat tunes, expertly delivered and recorded, make for an absolutely delightful listen."
