Artist description Concentual is a four piece pop/rock band, hailing from Minneapolis, MN. The curious spelling of their name is a definition, meaning: to possess harmony. This definition exemplifies the band’s trademark sound. Concentual incorporates strong three part harmonies that shape their songs into uplifting anthems. Taking influence from acts such as U2, Third Eye Blind, and Tonic, Concentual delivers an array of stylistically diverse songs that keep audiences engaged. Lyrically, Concentual draws upon the intensity of human emotions and offers the audience themes that are easily relatable. Since the band’s inception in 2001, Concentual has evolved into the finely tuned line-up that is today, consisting of Bryan Thuney (vocals/guitar), Paul Haga (guitar/vocals), Brian Chelminiak (bass/vocals), and Pete Berven (drums). In 2003, Concentual has captured the praise of many of the midwest’s top venues and artists, being touted as the “next big thing in the Twin Cities.” They are currently in the process of recording their debut studio release.
