Ten to Never are influenced by:

(life)
the lies of rupert murdoch
the honesty of tony benn
the revelations of noam chomsky
the nullifying devastating brain damage
of insipid career paths
sweet sweet irony

everything from bjork to radiohead to metallica to chick corea to red snapper to soundgarden to pink floyd to bob dylan to james taylor to the smashing pumpkins and anything else with soul and substance
(music)
