After just three months of songwriting, tattermask hit the Charlotte music scene in February 2008. Impressing the likes of Mike Genett of Zen Wang Bingo Records, tattermask enlisted Mike's help in recording their debut EP, "Looks Can Be Deceiving," released on Halloween 2008. The album was well-received by fans and the media, getting airplay and on-air interviews on Charlotte's 106.5 The End and Greenville's 93.3 The Planet, as well as several college and online radio stations. The band received the honor of a nomination for a Carolina Music Award (Best Female Rock Vocalist) and guitarist Josh Wright was asked to do a video review of Paul Reed Smith Guitars' SE Torero for the November 2010 issue of Guitar World Magazine. The group's diverse influences range from Metallica to Phil Collins to Mozart and everything in between. Tattermask has delighted crowds in many venues across the Carolinas. The band is currently finishing up a full-length album to be released in early 2011 and plans to tour in support of the album.
