Less Than Expected is a Sludge Punk/Hardrock band from Ashtabula, Ohio.

Less Than Expected, A name born from a high school suffix is the brainchild of popular comic book artist and Florida transplant Martin Dunn. Bursting onto the Ohio music scene in the winter of 2018, LTE gave life to a genre-defying monster that could only be described as "Sludge Punk". An atomic blast of sonic hysteria that rips through your ears with powerful drums, super fuzzy guitars, and melodic riffs, this unique brand of hard rock is only elevated by Dunn's raw emotion and cynically charged vocals.

Less Than Expected, are anything but what their name suggests. A masterclass in noise, LTE mixes their love of punk and grunge rock into a sound that could easily be misidentified as a lovechild of Mudhoney and The Melvins. LTE's on-stage antics and musical aggression make them a scene favorite, delivering raw energy and authenticity that is both beautifully and chaotically coupled with their explosive "scene killing" finales that are reminiscent of The Who or Nirvana.

Less Than Expected is a humorous name that sets you up for an overwhelmingly mind-blowing live experience that only ends with an explosion of smashed instruments and teeth-rattling feedback that will leave you wanting more. (Bio written by Jeremiah Peckol/Mixtape Contagion)
