After launching his solo career in 2023, London-based artist TC TENET is taking a bold step forward with the release of his debut EP, Breakaway. Building on the momentum of his first singles, which introduced listeners to his fresh take on alternative rock, Breakaway solidifies TC TENET’s reputation as a rising voice in the genre. His self-proclaimed “alt-rock 2.0” sound, a blend of classic British rock energy and progressive, forward-thinking themes, appeals to a new generation of rock enthusiasts while remaining firmly rooted in the genre’s iconic essence.
With Breakaway, TC TENET combines an electrifying wall of sound with a rhythmic drive, crafting melodies that are as riotous as they are resonant. Across its five tracks, the EP explores themes of empowerment, equality, and environmental consciousness, offering a glimpse into the artist’s personal beliefs.
Speaking about the EP’s creative mission, TC TENET shared, “Breakaway is about believing one has the power to change things, whether in one’s own life or in wider society. It’s a statement that anyone can be an agent of change if they believe in it and act.” His lyrics reflect a dedication to making music that not only entertains but also inspires, infusing rock’s rebellious spirit with a modern, activist edge.
Originally from Brazil, TC TENET has made a home for himself in London, recording his work from a humble shed studio in his backyard. For years, he played in various bands and explored different musical projects before deciding to go solo, carving out a space for his authentic sound and voice. This simplicity underscores his grounded approach to music, which emphasizes substance over style.
