BRENDAN KELLY

WATCH/LISTEN (see audio sample below)

BRENDAN KELLY

Brendan Kelly (born September 8, 1976) is the bassist/vocalist of Chicago-based punk band The Lawrence Arms, as well as guitarist/lead vocalist in The Falcon and Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds. Kelly's former bands include Slapstick and The Broadways. He is known for his raspy vocals, drunken demeanor, and onstage witticisms.

Kelly also appeared on The Daily Show in a correspondent piece by Ed Helms entitled "The Clash" in which he criticized Michale Graves for being a Republican.

Kelly boycotts the Warped Tour on the belief that it ruins the original system for underground bands of touring and supporting larger bands, as well as ruining business for small venues. He along with The Lawrence Arms were banned for life for spreading this belief to the audience whilst participating in the Warped Tour.

SAM RUSSO

"We saw Sam Russo's greatness coming a mile away. Many bands touring over in the UK and Europe have witnessed first-hand his deep, rumbling ballads about destitution and triumph. Now we're aiming to bring this thoughtful balladeer to the rest of the world and it starts with his debut full length, "Storm". Unlike the other guys going around singing their faux-heartfelt ditties, Sam is the real deal: part scumbag, part poet; and this plebeian bard has worked a million shitty jobs to back up his claim. For fans of John K. Samson, Sundowner, Ryan Adams, etc."
