Biography

Torn Up By Coyotes

is a band playing all-original eclectic music that was born of dreams, a few off the wall ideas, and a lot of hard work. It is also first and foremost fun. As with any endeavor, it doesn't start or end in the current configuration, and we have many who've helped out and contributed along the way.
