Mighty Joe Castro and the Gravamen
Based out of Philadelphia, PA, Ameripolitan rockabilly outfit, Mighty Joe Castro & The Gravamen have been described as sounding like Buddy Holly (if he'd had access to a stack of effects pedals and some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds records) Influenced by 50’s Rock and Roll and infused with post modern Easter eggs cribbed from old episodes of MTV’s 120 Minutes,the quartet lurks at a crossroads where Sun Records and Creation Records meet.
“Philly-based singer-songwriter Mighty Joe Castro would fit right in at the Twin Peaks roadhouse. His retro-rock stylings channel the uneasy underbelly of 1950s American life; think equal parts film noir and Chris Isaak’s “Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing....” – John Vettese, WXPN’s The Key.

The Screamin' Rockets
"A futuristic search and rescue team travels back in time pursuing its obsession with 1950s American rock n roll — but their time travel device runs outta juice...leaving them stranded in the 2020s (an era of auto-tune, pre-recorded backing tracks, and laptop DJs).
Despite TSR's roots being planted firmly in traditional 50s and 60s rock, surf, and doo-wop, their quirky character, energetic stage antics, and knack for storytelling aligns them artistically with bands like the B-52s, Devo, and Blondie.
