Mixing hard rock hooks with clever lyrics and a frontman to rival Scott Weiland, these boys from Manchester New Hampshire are destined for the big time. Their new album, entitled "Molotov Season" explodes from your speakers with the radio ready hit "Shotgun". The rest of the album does not disappoint, blending pieces of old rock heroes like led Zeppelin with newer acts such as Switchfoot and Godsmack. A clear winner from the north east and a band to be reckoned with for years to come

Formed in 2005 as a "new voice" for the ignored 35-and-over crowd who still love new hard rock music, The John Sullivan Brigade is a musically diverse bunch of rockers that have created an atmosphere of power and professionalism throughout the New York City metro area.

The band’s second release, A Sound Opportunity For Your Last Music Purchase, is a 12-song project (co-produced with Doug Kwartler) that expands their core sound, incorporating newer elements such as saxophone, pedal steel guitar, a string quartet, and mandolin into the mix. John Sullivan, the founder/songwriter who has showcased his vocals, guitar and piano work on the indie rock circuit since the mid-1990s, launched his solo-fronted band with an untitled 10-song CD back in 2005. Rock fans who listen to the JSB will hear similarities to the early Seventies records of Bruce Springsteen.

Part of the John Sullivan Brigade’s recent success the past three years has been playing its original music in a variety of settings throughout the New York City metro circuit – playing at well-known venues such as NYC’s the Knitting Factory and Long Island’s The Stephen Talkhouse; participating in music festivals such as the ongoing M.E.A.N.Y Fest; performing in acoustic open mic podcast recording events; and, selected as the feature band in large, private outdoor shows.

As for the Brigade itself, it is George Gelish’s steady mix of melodic backing vocals and rhythmic bass, Johnny Leone’s swirling tenor, soprano and alto saxophone sounds, Steve Glover’s three-plus decades of power drumming and percussive experiences and Russ Rogers’s varied acoustic and electric stylings that are displayed both in concert and the recording studio.

Sullivan has also created a parallel creative music world as the author of two rock music novels – 2005’s Rock and Roll Murder (iUniverse) and 2007’s Opportunity Rocking (xLibris) –and has already begun work on a third book. The writings are an outgrowth of a three-year weekly music web blog, Sully’s Music View, via Blogger.com with readers around the world.

The band’s 2008 release is available on Apple iTunes and CD Baby and their latest video is available on YouTube. Hyperlinks to all of these projects can be easily found on the band’s website homepage at  http://www.johnsullivanbrigade.com/.

Destined to make an impact on the musical landscape, Push Play offers great melodies, driving beats and a firm determination in reaching their goals.

“We are the new generation and we need to set higher standards. That’s why a portion of the proceeds from our CD sales and concerts will be set aside for a variety of charities.” Push Play is the new breed of rock star.

And with all of the countless gigs, radio & film appearances, interviews and songwriting sessions under their belt, it’s hard to believe the members of Push Play all under the tender age of 18. But upon witnessing them live and listening to the maturity in their prose and the complexity of the compositions, you get the feeling that these boys are for real. And you would be right.

TAUK is an eclectic group of five guys from Long Island, NY. Each of the members, Adam Akpinar (Drums), Alric Carter (Keyboard/Organ), Charlie Dolan (Bass Guitar), Matt Jalbert (Guitar), and Alessandro Zanelli (Vocals), use their varying taste in music to create their sound which uses these different genres of music and encapsulates the many years each of the members has dedicated to studying music at a serious level. Each of them met in high school and formed a band that has been committed to creating innovative music that all age groups can enjoy. Their skill at improvisation specifically propels them into directions that many could not even imagine, while their love for melody and harmonic structure allows them to create a dancing, sing-along atmosphere at their shows. The band plays at various different venues for many different occasions within the entire Tri-State area of New York. They have had the opportunity to play various benefit shows for La Fuerza Unida of Glen Cove, which helps the underprivileged Latino population in that city, and also has had the opportunity to open up for the nationally acclaimed O.A.R. for an AIDS benefit concert. Their road tested material has allowed them to create three demos up to this point which they are all very proud of, hopefully you can catch a show in the very near future where you can pick up a demo CD. Enjoy the music! for bookings or other info contact rick eberle at 516-729-6872 / taukrocks@gmail.com
