The members of his band are guitarists Johnny Rao (David Johansen Band / Sylvain Sylvain), Peter Wood (Dramarama) as well as two mainstays of the NJ music scene, bassist Joe Rowley and drummer Steve Brown. Their music is influenced by classic rock (e.g. The Kinks), 90s alternative (e.g. Nirvana) and the NY punk scene of the 70s (e.g. Dead Boys). In August 2022 the band is heading to California to record their debut album with legendary producer Ed Stasium (The Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens). Check out a basement demo of one of the songs to be included on the new release. **About Judah Kim** *https://www.judahkimmusic.com/* Judah Kim is not special - at least in his problems and his insanity. It’s one of many lessons he’s learned from 12+ years of sobriety. This liberating notion has been the key to unlocking his artistic vulnerability. Kim, a proud Korean American from Philadelphia Pa, shares his inner world with the outside one, hoping to make others feel seen and free. Despite his Asian roots, Kim’s voice and melodies have been described as very “British.” He blends the sweetness and accessibility from the likes of Paul McCartney, and mixes it with the conviction and power of 90’s Thom Yorke. His music showcases a rich tapestry of Indie Alternative Rock colours akin to Catherine Wheel, The Strokes, Weezer, Oasis, Travis, The Dears, Muse. **About The Tone Bandits** *https://thetonebandits.bandcamp.com/* With members hailing from the London, New York, and San Francisco rock Scenes, the Tone Bandits are pure Philadelphia energy, with roots in straight ahead punk rock and roll.
