Ten Minute Detour

In the winter of 2017, Ten Minute Detour recorded their second album in Nashville, Tennessee, teaming up with producer and former Cage the Elephant guitarist, Lincoln Parish. Their sophomore album Common Pleasure, whose seven tracks were recorded over a harrowing seven days, is a testament to the band’s maturation and growth in songwriting and storytelling, shedding the garage-rock skin and donning a more expansive, gripping, sophisticated sound.

2019 saw a lineup change and the relocation of TMD from their prairie home to Southern Ontario. A move focused on elevating the band through more extensive touring and exposure.

Pause for one global pandemic… and Ten Minute Detour is ready to continue their journey where they left off. Their new record ‘Golden Tapestry’, released in Fall 2022, was an exploration of more thoughtful and creative songwriting. Venturing further from their garage rock roots the album brandishes an Americana folk essence, while harnessing the energy of a band in full stride. In support of their new LP, TMD took to the stage playing venues across Canada.

In the past year, recent highlights include selling out The Ironwood Stage and Festival Hall in Calgary, AB, as well as opening for popular bands Monowhales (Toronto), Reuben and the Dark (Calgary), CVC (Wales). The band has also recently played New York City’s New Colossus Festival, Saint Roche XP Festival (Quebec City, QC) and Fall2Fest (Galt, ON) supporting prominent Canadian acts Said the Whale and Dwayne Gretzky.

TMD is set to release new music in 2024, produced by Marcus Paquin (Local Natives, The National, Tim Baker), with supporting shows across Canada throughout the year.
