All The Day Holiday
This Ohio based four-piece has freshly come out of nowhere. Garnering an immense amount of attention and interest, things have picked up quickly for All the Day Holiday. While recently signing to Linc Star Records the band is in the midst of developing a strong foundation by building their fan base and voicing their perspectives and passions on life, people, living, and loving the fellow man.
While it’s rhythmically driven, the music is sophisticated and melodic. The songs have depth and purpose. The guitars and vocals give the music an identity that embraces the music's soul and perspective while the rhythm section lays the foundation and body of the music giving it it's unique swagger, energy, and direction...almost as if it had a definitive bone and muscle structure.
Inspired by art, experience, and the wonderful mystery of life they are multi-dimensional. These fresh faces in the music scene will soon become familiar. For fans of Death Cab for Cutie, Sunny Day Real Estate, Coldplay, Muse, and Jimmy Eat World, All the Day Holiday is a band you will be more than pleased with. Their first full-length album, “The Things We’ve Grown To Love,” just became available at shows—make sure to tell your friends before they tell you and be expecting big things from them in 2009 and beyond.

Wicker Hollow
Fronted by Chris Leone, New Jersey’s very own Wicker Hollow also features members Jesse Manna, Chris Derner, Sean McKnight and Chris Sparta. Formed in 2006, this five piece rock/punk band has done more than most can say in just over two short years. Live Like You Know What You’re Leaving, Wicker Hollow’s debut record, was released in September 2007 just five months after the band was featured in the motion picture “Mysterious” staring Anna Lynne McCord and James Brolin. The last two years of the band’s career has been filled with various radio appearances and interviews in addition to a slew of shows alongside nationals like Sugarcult, Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, The Plain White T’s and Mest, to name a few. Wicker Hollow has also been fortunate enough to headline Jersey’s most well known venue, The Starland Ballroom, more than once. In the spring of 2008, the guys hit the studio again with long time producer/friend Plinky Giglio (STYX-producer/engineer) to record the follow up to their 2007 release. After a summer of recording and playing select dates out, the band is back in action with their second full-length album, titled Wake Up Call.
In the spring of 2009, Wake Up Call landed the band a 3 year deal in Japan with INYA FACE/CR JAPAN (Alkaline Trio, Pinhead Gunpowder, The Vandals, The Queers). The band’s 2 USA releases were then combined, the album was renamed Hello Radio and was released country wide in Japan on March 28th. Shortly following that, Wicker Hollow picked up the award for BEST ORIGINAL SONG IN A FEATURE FILM at the Garden State Film Festival for the song “This Ocean Drive” featured in the film “The Roadhouse”. The band’s fan base quickly began to grow more than ever and in April they competed in the famous Break Contest to win a spot on the Bamboozle 2009. After 3 rounds of the competition the band took first place and played both days of the Bamboozle, on the main stage alongside, No Doubt, Fall Out Boy, Third Eye Blind, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, New Found Glory, Gavin Rossdale and many more.

Music is the most important thing in my life. I've been singing ever since I can remember but I've only been dancing for a little over a year. However, I've been performing on stage since I was 9 years old. I was fortunate enough to be the youngest cast member of both Daytona's "Downtown Opry" and Central Florida's "DeLand Ole Opry". That's where I really learned a lot about performing. Two of my most memorable performances were on "The Showtime at the Apollo" stage. The first was on "The Showtime at the Apollo Tour", at the age of 9. The second was on the nationally televised "Showtime at the Apollo" on NBC, when I was 10 (with M.C. Mo'Nique). However, nothing is as fulfilling as performing your own material.
At nine years old I was interviewed, sang and had two of my original songs aired on several radio stations. The three radio stations were; WVYB 103.3 FM (Daytona, Fl.), Magic 107.7 FM (Orlando, Fl.) and Radio Disney 990 (Orlando, Fl.). I sang the National Anthem on Magic 107.7 FM and "God Bless America" on WVYB 103.3 FM for their September 11th Tribute Shows. As a matter of fact, my original song "In Our Hearts They'll Stay" was the most requested song on WVYB 103.3 "The Vibe". Winning a Radio Disney contest is what granted me access to the Radio Disney airways during several Memorial Weekend Broadcasts. Both "In Our Hearts They'll Stay" and "Please Don't Cry" were played.
I remained rather busy through ages 10 and 11 performing at various events. Just to highlight a few, I performed the National Anthem for several baseball games (N.Y. Mets spring training game at Port St. Lucie, Fl. and The Triple A Minor League Daytona Cubs). I also sang the anthem for the WKA Races at Daytona International Speedway. Not only did I sing the National Anthem for the 2004 Citrus Bowl Parade but, I rode in a 1931 Model A Ford in the parade. I also performed the anthem and my original songs at countless charity events and civil ceremonies.
One of the highlights of my "career" was opening up for "Blackground/Universal Music" recording artist JoJo (Joanna Levesque) during her Cingular Wireless Tour. She inspired me to continue pursuing my dreams no matter what age you are.

Bearin' Peace
Bearin' Peace is straight out of North Jersey and is quickly building a name for them selves by blending together a clever mix of reggae and rock n' roll music. With the current music scene slowly dying from an over saturation of emo, pop, punk, and one hit wonder bands; it is hard for many musicians to break the mold. Bearin' Peace doesn’t take what is on MTV and remake it; they re-work the way music is thought of from the ground up. They can open a set by rocking the crowd with 'Drop Out', and just as quickly have everyone taping their feet to 'Graveyard Swing' without ever losing that soul and North Jersey vibe that all of their work embraces. Growing up in Bergenfield, New Jersey has no doubt helped to further enhance their style. Bearin' Peace encompasses all of the soul of the East Side. Members Anthony “Bear” Restifo, Pete Stolba, and Nick Paull all reside in Bergenfield; and each member brings forth their own personal style of play and musical taste into the mix. With classic lead guitar riffs laid down by Pete, funky and smooth bass lines put down by Nick, and smooth reggae vocals and guitar rhythms arranged by Bear; much is brought together to form their unique sound. Not to mention J.5's hard hitting drum style, which adds to the authenticity of the group. There are not many shows you can go to and groove to a smooth reggae tune, dance to a swing song, and rock yourself content all in one set, yet Bearin' Peace never manages to disappoint. You can also catch playing with Bob Marley’s Original Wailers at The Alive at 5 music festival in Albany NY.
