Look at this!

As a band we've been able to receive a lot of amazing compliments and feedbacks from other musical artists whom we, of course, respect. One of the coolest recent compliments came from the Cheap Trick coverband Cheap Chick.

You can see on the side that they wrote, "Keith! Cheap Chick is just a front for The Responders Groupies Union! Rock on Brother!"

What a compliment! Rock on Cheap Chick!

Pictures Anyone?

I did some digging and found some really awesome pictures of us!

Enjoy!


Our Influences

Hey everyone--

Today I decided to comment on who influenced us as a band. It's true no matter what era or genre of music you look at that everyone was influenced by someone else. I'm sure even Chuck Berry was influenced from someone or something!

Here are some of our influences:

The Beatles - The Rolling Stones - The Remains - The Supremes - The Temptations - Tom Petty - Bad Company - Georgia Satellites - The Kinks - Elvis Costello - The Byrds - U2 - Pearl Jam - Grand Funk - Bob Dylan - Stevie Wonder - Slade - Oasis

Getting to Know The Responders!

Hey Everyone!


I'm thrilled to be writing a blog about our reminiscent of the 1960s rock n' roll band! I figured the first post should really be an insight into the band. To start off, we have a motto for our band which is "Three great chords... Four great guys". This basically sums it all up, myself, Keith Marron, my bandmates/friends Rick Castillo, Steven Capasso and Bill Davidson have combined decades worth of musical experience together and apart to form a musical experience like never heard before! I'll be posting more blogs that will get into details about who we are, who we've played with and where you can hear us play!
