Forging this sound in 2001, Tub Ring has been a force of nature in the left-of-center world of music, building momentum and inertia with every day that passes. The band's first album of avant-garde pop, Drake Equation, was produced by Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance. Since, Tub Ring has released a total of 4 albums and a DVD/B-Side double pack.
With each album charting into double digits on the CMJ Top 200, Tub Ring's music has also been featured on Fox Sports, Xbox 360's "Amp Snow Boarder 3", various MTV/MTV2 programs, Spike and Mike's Twisted Animation films, and several Mt. Dew commercials. Most recently, Tub Ring played live in the TRL room on MTV2, and was featured in the MTV reality based contest show "Dew Circuit Breakout".
Tub Ring has created an enormous underground market with their bizarre genre of spazzed pop rock, with no financial help, no manager, NOTHING... except hard work, non-stop touring, and inventive song writing with intelligent lyrics. Clocking in at over 150 shows per year from 2001 to 2009 throughout North America, Europe and Japan, there are few bands that can match Tub Ring's determination and commitment to music. Touring partners include Mindless Self Indulgence, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kill Hannah, Dog Fashion Disco, Clutch, Karate High School, Black Light Burns, Foxy Shazam!, and more!

Tiny Little
Tub Ring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you've still more mouths to feed
You may find yourself with a basket of bread
A tiny little piece is all you need
When your journey's blocked by water
And you pass without getting wet
You may ask yourself, "What's the meaning of it all?"
On your quest for information
Bring along the tools you need
If you find yourself staring blankly at a screen
A tiny little chip is what you need
When your nation's steeped in sorrow
And your pundits are having a fit
You'll redeem yourself at the end of everything
A tiny little atom's all you split
The song "Tiny Little" by Tub Ring is a contemplative and introspective piece that encourages listeners to reflect on life's challenges and the small things that can make a big difference. The first verse speaks of the simple pleasures in life, such as a tiny piece of bread, that can sustain and satisfy us even in difficult times. The second verse contemplates the mysteries of life, where trying to find meaning may only result in a tiny little shrug in response. The third verse urges us to be prepared and equipped on our journey for knowledge, as even a tiny little chip can make all the difference in overcoming obstacles. The final verse offers a glimmer of hope in the face of a troubled world, where even a tiny little atom can ultimately lead to redemption.
Throughout the song, the use of the phrase "tiny little" emphasizes the importance of appreciating the small things in life, the power of the seemingly insignificant, and the idea that sometimes it's the little things that can make the biggest impact. The song's reflective and contemplative tone encourages listeners to take a moment to appreciate the tiny little things in their own lives and to find hope and optimism even in the face of adversity.

When the sun sets in the evening
At the end of the day
And you've still more mouths to feed
When there are still people to take care of
You may find yourself with a basket of bread
You may have some resources left
A tiny little piece is all you need
Even a little bit will suffice
When your journey's blocked by water
When you face obstacles
And you pass without getting wet
If you overcome them unscathed
You may ask yourself, "What's the meaning of it all?"
You may question the purpose
A tiny little shrug is all you get
You may not find a clear answer
On your quest for information
When searching for knowledge
Bring along the tools you need
Be prepared with the necessary resources
If you find yourself staring blankly at a screen
When faced with confusion or lack of clarity
A tiny little chip is what you need
A small amount of information can do the trick
When your nation's steeped in sorrow
During times of great sadness or grief for your country
And your pundits are having a fit
When the media or experts are struggling to come to terms with events
You'll redeem yourself at the end of everything
There may be a way to make amends or find resolution
A tiny little atom's all you split
A small detail or action could make all the difference
