Bands

Jay used to jam with these masters of Rockabilly. You are a fool if ya can't dance to these guys.

passion. pure rock n roll. watch out...you may learn something!

Baltimore, watch out...your town is on the rise...

From Philly. There's 6 of them, plus GO-Go dancers. The music is sinister and sexy. If you don't see these guys before they are all rich and stuff, then you are a fool.

The soundtrack to a turn of the century murder mystery set in Philadelphia? you decide.

Their hearts are on their record sleeve, shattered and bitter as they were. Streetpunk? these guys are above and beyond. Making their mark in rock history...were you there?

From Boston. Put on your dancing shoes. Oh, where do we go from here?

Once again, blown away by a band half a world away! Hillbilly Moon Explosion, will you marry me? heheh!
This banner space reserved for the Lords of the Highway, and the Coffin Bangers. I will spill my beer for you, and you only, my loves!
this space reserved for Ohio's No Nothing Generation!!! Its the 419 area code, and these guys rock it out. But none of them can rent a car in most states... oh well!
Cranked up the bastard punk rock child of violent pat and dead empty.
the Keystone All Stars why not? Two words. Rockin'! PA! Makes us proud to be residents of the Keystone State.
the Groupies as someone once said: they are the spice girls meets motorhead. And they are the finest export from Germany since Jagermeister.
the Boys From the County Hell Not a real webpage, as much as it is a gallery where you can check out the madness that is a BFCH show. If you like the Pogues, you gotta see the best pogues cover band ever. Ask Spider Stacy. He did a mini-tour with them.
the Skels I wanna play with these guys! Maybe we could do a tin whistle duet, heh. Another of Jersey's redeeming qualities! Bring your pint glasses and kick it ceili-style.
the Riffs (portland) They look like they could kick my ass. But what they did was show Philly how its done. These guys are really cool, really talented. If you want to lose yourself in loud and fast rock n'roll, here ya go.
The 440's From Philly and then Tuscon. Saw 'em at the Pontiac on June 21. No foolin..the new bass player was rolling around on the floor in broken glass, never missing a beat. Wow. I have never seen a woman make love to her guitar as much as Sparkle Plenty did.
Satan's Riff Raff Philly's own AC/DC cover band with FEMALE vocals. Jimmy Satan continues to spread his evil throughout Philly.
Filthy Thieving Bastards The side project of Darius Koski and Johnny Bonnel of Swinging Utters. Sounds range from Pogues to Elvis Costello to Dropkick Murphys to Elvis Presley but really...its something new and something very exciting.
the Drossells Picture yourself on a hot New York City night. CBGB's. Soulful rock n'roll. Intense. These guys are genuinely awesome.
Queen V We were blown away by how solid this band was. Amazing. They own the stage. They will take a piece of you when you see them. From NYC.
Billy Zoom The incredible X guitarist. A legend. He has a musical equipment repair business. He is also producing the Angoras. Check it out.
