The Tenants are a pub rock band out of Bathurst, New South Wales, formed in 1998, and their big moment came fast: that same year "You Shit Me to Tears" won them a regional final of Triple J Unearthed, and the song's title alone tells you this is not a band that takes itself too seriously. It's bar-room rock with a ska kick, loud, sweaty and built for singalongs from the back of the room.
The lineup reads like a roll call from the local pub: Jase the Ace singing and playing guitar, JJ LaMoore on bass, Deanie B on drums and Potato Cake on guitar, with Ant Layton joining the drum stool later. They took their time over a full-length record; Everything You Know Is Wrong, their only album, finally arrived on 27 January 2006.
