HOME BASE: Philadelphia
STYLE: Covers varying widely, from Metallica to Taylor Swift, with a sprinkle of country for good measure.
LINEUP: Jay “J.T.” Thomas, lead vocals, guitar; Ray Pierson, lead guitar, vocals; Mike “Mikey B.” Birchard, vocals, keys, guitar, percussion; Thomas King, vocals, bass; Doug Moore, drums.
FEEDBACK: The fans are as loyal as they are frenzied.
