Tenement, an American punk band hailing from Appleton, Wisconsin, has solidified its reputation as a prolific and inventive group within the punk and indie music scene. The heart of the band resides in the creative force of guitarist and vocalist Amos Pitsch, whose vision has driven the band to experiment with an array of sounds, ranging from melodic punk to noisy pop, and even experimental music. Formed in the late 2000s, Tenement's DIY ethic is palpable in both their recording methods and relentless touring schedule.

Their discography boasts a collection of critically acclaimed albums and EPs, among which "Napalm Dream" (2011) and "Predatory Headlights" (2015) stand out for their ambitious and genre-defying approach to punk rock. Tenement has also ventured into crafting soundtracks, as evidenced by their atmospheric scores for the motion pictures "Smother Me in Hugs" and "Proxy." With "Bruised Music" volumes 1 and 2, the band compiled rare and out-of-print recordings, showcasing the depth and diversity of their songwriting capabilities. Throughout their career, Tenement has maintained a fiercely independent stance, self-releasing much of their work and aligning with similarly-minded indie labels, thus cementing their status as darlings of the underground music world.
