The band was fronted by bassist-turned-guitarist Matt Matsuoka, whose lyrics (when comprehensible) were a captivating mix of love and violence (or love of violence). Ten-O-Seven specialized in "emo" before there was such a thing and had the good sense to break up before that term rendered the whole thing an embarrassment. Co-founder (and P.A. owner) Jeff Ganson suggested the name because that's what his clock radio always reset to when the power went out, but for years advocated changing the band's name to The Disappointments, which he still maintains would have been the key to the bigtime. The band went through almost as many drummers as Spinal Tap, but Eric "The Viking" Kinder was the group's defining drummer (and pummeler of Nintendo opponents during practice breaks). The scary-looking but totally-harmless Soto Rebelos rounded out the band's last lineup on bass. Though favored by straight edge kids, both Matsuoka and Ganson were and are confirmed drunkards.

Misery
Ten-O-Seven Lyrics

I've tried giving my all
But I wake up and fall
Scars bleed like tears in the fall
My heart can't take this all
Too much alcohol
Now I'm stuck with someone else
Oh
I feel like I'm losing control
Burn bridges like witches and souls
I'm still in need of help

I feel so unwell
Tryna deny these feelings
That I feel inside
Wipe away my tears
They don't have to dry
Holding on to something so deep in me
Now I'm holding on to fucking misery
Losing myself while I'm lost in depression
Now I'm at the studio in a fucking session
Wishing to get my priorities straight
But baby I feel like it's too fucking late
I'm tired of being yours when I can be mine
I'm tired of being yours when I can be mine
I've tried giving my all
But I wake up and fall
Scars bleed like tears in the stall
My heart can't take this all
Too much alcohol
Now I'm stuck with someone else
Oh
I feel like I'm losing control
Burn bridges like witches and souls
I'm still in need of help
I feel so unwell
I'm tired of being yours when I can be mine
I'm tired of being yours when I can be mine
I'm tired of being yours when I can be mine
So tired
Yeah
