An American hard rock group with a dynamic sound that evokes the radio-ready heavy metal emissions of bands like Whitesnake, Tesla, and Bon Jovi, Tyketto emerged at the tail-end of the pop/hair metal boom of the '80s. Founded by ex-D.O.A. frontman Danny Vaughn following the dissolution of his previous band Waysted, Tyketto flirted with success in 1991 with the release of their debut album, Don't Come Easy, but the group struggled to stay afloat amidst the mainstreaming of grunge and alternative rock and disbanded in 1996. They got back together in the late 2000s as a touring entity, and officially re-formed in 2012, releasing the album Dig in Deep, with another full-length studio LP, Reach, arriving in 2016. A pair of concert albums arrived in 2017 and 2019, and the band continued to tour into the next decade.
