rock band based out of Lake Hopatcong, NJ. They formed in 2005 and rehearse every day to ensure that their music is presented
as perfectly and professionally as possible.
Exit 39,

all ages and from different towns that formed in 2004. One thing they all have in common is a love of making and performing
music. Exit 39 recorded a 4 song demo CD of original work in
2006 Rock n’ Roll Band, Streetside Saxophone, Get Away, and
Tell Me.
Gentlemen,
students from Randolph
High School, was formed in 2007. Their music is a blend of
jazz-fusion, roots rocks and blues. They enjoy keeping an open
and free approach to playing, so improvisation and free form are
common.

small northwestern town of Blairstown New Jersey in fall 2005.
Playing locally in the tri-state area to gain recognition for
their musical efforts and passion for what they love…music.

Matchbook Romance, Greeley Estates, Bayside, The Number 12 Looks
Like You, Boys Night Out and others.
MePeachandCreech,
students from Morristown High School, is a band of four manimals

events including support for Hurricane Katrina victims and the
Save Darfur Foundation.
Nothing in Common,
students from Morristown High School, joined together in the
summer of 2005 with the intent of having fun and playing music.
Their varied musical tastes have coalesced into their own brand
of alternative rock.
Rustic Aria,
students from Warren Hills High School, have been playing in
various bands for some time, but have only recently forged their
musical powers and creative efforts together. If they had to
place themselves in a genre, they would say “rock,” but they let
their audience come to their own conclusion.
The Darkside of Ambition,
students from Parsippany High School, is an alternative rock
band which formed in the summer of 2004 and reached its current
lineup in the spring of 2006. The band is essentially five
friends who like to play music together. The group has played
quite a few shows around the northern New Jersey area.

P.R.Y.D.E! B-Tre’ is an up and coming beat box performer and
P.R.Y.D.E. is a young, dynamic band that has a large fan base.
