- Stop The World (formerly Drive 56)
Our South Philly brothers and eternal alter-ego, Stop The World (formerly Drive 56) is no doubt one of the best Hard Rock bands on the Philly/Jersey rock scene today. Our "Metal Meets MeNtal" counterparts are miles more interesting than most bands playing harder edge music, and they continue to tempt subject matter that is a very real part of all of our lives. Strange bed fellows you say? We've played more shows with Stop The World than all of the other bands we've played with combined - And we hope to continue the tradition!
- Rhondo and the Goodes
Our good buddy from the bad old days of the 80's/90's Jersey Club Scene and the original Opera House @ 3rd & Brown, Rhondo has jump up from behind his drum kit and taken his place as a first rate singer/songwriter. Check out his smooth and friendly hooks.
- Midnight Bottle Club
One of our newest friends is this great band based out of Manayunk. Their music is literate and infectious with a tough edge. We've known of them for a bit, but have only just recently had the chance to play with them. Be sure to listen to what these guys (and gal) are saying!
- Laura Cheadle
"She's got the funk, she's got the soul." If you've never had the opportunity to see Laura perform, get to her site and check out the many songs and videos available. It's easy to become a fan real fast. We hope to be playing with Laura again real soon! We'll let you know. Promise.
- The Jones Girls
Two girls. Two guitars. Harmony-driven acoustic rock - We've played with our friends THE JONES GIRLS several times and they just keep amazing us with their wonderful songs and beautiful harmonies - Go to their site and check them out - we're sure you'll agree.
- Longshore Films
Longshore Films is an independent film company founded by our dear friends Joseph Van Blunk and Gustave Rosanio. To date, they have completed three award winning documentary films that should be required viewing for all Philadelphians.
- Outstanding Records
This is our record company. They have an incredible number of cool artists representing just about every genre! This is where you can buy our first two albums!
