[BUFFALO BAND OF THE WEEK] http://929jackfm.com/the-bella-donna-buffalo-band-of-the-week/ http://929jackfm.com/the-bella-donna-buffalo-band-of-the-week/#comments Thu, 20 Dec 2012 05:01:10 +0000 Amanda Tunis http://929jackfm.com/?p=146595 The Bella Donna is made up of Greg Tunis on vocals, Brian Montes on guitar and vocals, Mitch Cochran on guitar, Ray Halm on keyboards and Jarrod Rose on drums.

We describe The Bella Donna's sound as indie core. Our music cascades from brutal to meaningful, exploring deep existential questions and raw emotions, with vocals that swing from throaty growls to soaring hooks.

Our influence comes from Blink 182, P.O.D., Taking Back Sunday and Circa Survive. Besides bands, we are definitely influenced by life's ups and downs.

[BUFFALO BAND OF THE WEEK] http://929jackfm.com/colors-in-the-air-buffalo-band-of-the-week/ http://929jackfm.com/colors-in-the-air-buffalo-band-of-the-week/#comments Thu, 15 Nov 2012 05:01:13 +0000 Amanda Tunis http://929jackfm.com/?p=136403 Colors In The Air is comprised of four members: Brian Miller the singer and guitar player, Justin Walker on guitar as well, Mike McGranor on bass, and Pat Williams on drums.

We're in the indie rock genre.  We try to keep our music (especially the music we're recording now) easy to listen to and sing along to. The drums sit on the border of rock and dance beats, while the guitars set the mood and are covered with an assortment of effects and reverb to give it somewhat of a spacey vibe.

[BUFFALO BAND OF THE WEEK] http://929jackfm.com/city-under-siege-buffalo-band-of-the-week/ http://929jackfm.com/city-under-siege-buffalo-band-of-the-week/#comments Thu, 08 Nov 2012 05:01:24 +0000 Amanda Tunis http://929jackfm.com/?p=134031 City Under Siege is made up of two members: John Wittlinger (lead vocals, guitar and piano when needed) and Ryan Wiesner (drummer, background vocals and synth).

Our genre is basically pop/power pop/punk. We find it hard to describe our music, but it is a mix between bands like Relient K, Sanctus Real and old-school Brand New. Then throw in something like Ke$ha once in a while, and you'd have us!

[BUFFALO BAND OF THE WEEK] http://929jackfm.com/so-who-did-hal-jordan-dress-up-as-for-halloween-buffalo-band-of-the-week/ http://929jackfm.com/so-who-did-hal-jordan-dress-up-as-for-halloween-buffalo-band-of-the-week/#comments Thu, 01 Nov 2012 04:01:10 +0000 Amanda Tunis http://929jackfm.com/?p=132115 Hey guys! Hal Jordan consists of six members total, but only five of us play on stage. The five of us that play are singer Gabe Bermingham; two guitarists, Ricky Coomer and Ian Gartley; drummer Sebastian Cichon and bassist Brad Gottorff. However, Joe Sansone is also in the band; he plays the roles of stand-in bassist when needed, back-up vocals and all-around hype-man.

We think the best way to describe our sound is pop-punk. We write songs that are upbeat and energetic. We all like to dance around like fools when listening to music, so we decided to write songs that let us do that when we play live. We can get real crazy on stage, bumping into each other and tripping over equipment, but it's all about making music that gets us amped up!

We consider ourselves a melodramatic fusion of captivating pop and alternative rock. We believe that every song should be heartfelt, containing something that listeners may be able to relate to in their own life.

Matt Schultz (bass and vocals), Brian MacLeod (guitar and programming), David Miller, Jr.  (guitar and vocals) and Matthew Salzler (drums).

The reason we created Sunset Wakeup was to blur the lines of genre. We write and play music with feeling, and we don't let labels hold us down. Sunset Wakeup is all about heavy guitars and catchy hooks, and we wouldn't be ourselves without sprinkling melodic sampling and hardcore breakdowns. We have played birthday parties, fundraisers, punk shows, metal shows and club shows with DJs. We all have fun playing the music we write while winning over hearts at every venue. Why put a label on it?
