Tender Brutes is a Cincinnati-based rock trio that blends intricate, hard-hitting drum fills with lyrical bass lines, rhythmic guitar work, and provocative storytelling. Their unconventional song structures, anthemic choruses, and dynamic vocals create music that feels intense, original, and alive.

Built on a shared love of writing and performing, the band brings a visceral, raw energy to every show, delivering songs with passion, tension, and bite.

Their debut EP Bloodletter (2025) was followed by Love. Sex. Trauma. (2026), both available on all streaming platforms.
