Ten Ton Pressure is an EP by the industrial rock band Chemlab released in 1990. The duo of Dylan Thomas Moore and Joe Frank on synthesizers later teamed up with Jared Hendrickson (now known as Jared Louche) to create this EP. It was financed by Zalman Fishman, a nightclub owner who founded the now defunct Fifth Colvmn Records. Zalman became involved when he was introduced to Joe Frank through a mutual friend. It was recorded illegally at National Geographic's studios after hours and mixed in Los Angeles by Hilary Bercovici, a friend of Frank's.
