Screenage Band finished 3rd at the Stone Pony 2018 Rock to the Top Competition, with over 100 bands in the competition.
They have performed at the aforementioned Stone Pony 4 times, as well as The Saint, The Trocadero and Voltage Lounge in Philadelphia, as well as Maplewoodstock this past year, to name a few.
They released their first album in early 2018 ( you can find it on all streaming platforms), and are working on their next release now.
They are hard working, dedicated, true to their word "kids" (most are in college already). If they say they will be there , they will be there with bells on in a respectful and responsible manner.
They have been playing live together for 3 years, and each has stage experience of at least 5 years. They are seasoned even though they are 18-20:)
