A study in contrasts, smooth, organic vocals with a pop sensibility, offset by instrumentation and arrangement harkening a bygone era, the music of Tyler Burkum speaks to both new and old in one fresh breath. A native of Minneapolis, MN, Tyler's music speaks truthfully and without frills of his life, love, family and home. Matt Kearny says "Tyler's the most talented friend I have.
He has the ability to sing a simple song full of complex longing. Many nights on the road he would start to strum his guitar and bring to life a song that was bouncing around all our heads. He knows the pain of long distance love, and the joy found in a young man following his dreams." The songwriting and composition Burkum displays are reminiscent of when folk, blues, rock n' roll, and soul were one. Recently touring as lead guitarist and backing vocals for Columbia recording artist Matt Kearney, Tyler continued to mold songs of his own during free time.

Originally initiated as a side project, AT/DT has existed since 2001 when brothers Andrew Thomas (guitar) and David Thomas (drums) recruited Ben Jones (vocals) and Erik Pedersen (bass) to help form a proposed "mock rock" group. The band recorded an EP, Rock 4 The People, released in 2002, and that same year shot an appearance in the Siege Perilous Films independent feature-length movie revisions.
Following a year-long hiatus, the band reformed in 2004 and began to write and record new material. Shortly thereafter, however, Pedersen left AT/DT to attend violin-making school (seriously). The three remaining members continued working and in 2005 extended an invitation to an old friend, DJ Sandau, to join up as bassist. From there AT/DT began playing shows regularly throughout the Twin Cities area.

The Melismatics formed at the turn of the century in the fertile ground of the Minneapolis indie-rock scene. Their debut album "Postmodern Rock" quickly caught the attention of college radio stations around the country and garnered favorable reviews from critics around the world.
Shortly thereafter, Minneapolis indie-rock king pin Ed Ackerson (Polara, The Jayhawks, Limbeck, Sing It Loud) signed the band to Susstones Records and produced their next two albums "New Infection" and "Turn It On". The Melismatics toured the country numerous times over and continued to win loyal fans with their high-energy and unpredictable live shows. After releasing three albums, having their music featured on MTV's "The City", "Laguna Beach", NBC's "Windfall", and numerous extreme sports videos, The Melismatics have now released their latest effort "The Acid Test" on CC Entertainment/E1 Music (street date September 30, 2008).
