Marco Argiro – Marco Argiro may not be the only remaining true rock n’ roll man, but he is definitely making a case for the upper echelon of that list. In addition to fronting Brooklyn-based alternative rock n’ roll band Marco With Love and British rock band, The Killing Floor, Argiro will make his acting debut in HBO’s Vinyl, all while operating his own record label, Outright Rock Records. Although he may reside on the East Coast, Marco Argiro has been heavily influenced musically by the 60s and 70s Laurel Canyon music scene. His songs showcase elements of classic artists like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Revolver-era Beatles, and The Doors – while also drawing comparisons to current tastemakers like Father John Misty, Deer Trick, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes. Marco’s latest work comes in the form of a 3-song EP entitled Promised Land, which features original material as well as a powerful cover of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers “Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll.”

“…Argiro is ever the quintessential frontman” – The Broward Palm Beach New Times

Daniel Stampfel - In the past two decades, Daniel Stampfel has played in ska, power-pop, garage rock and glam rock bands. Stampfel first left a mark on the music world with The Skastafarians, who won Late Night with Conan O’Brien’s 10th Annual College Band Search. Stampfel then assembled The Inevitable Breakups in 1999 who became beloved sons of NYC with their catchy, crunchy power-pop. His current band, At The Moment, performs stripped-down, heartfelt pop-rock set aloft by Stampfel’s unique voice. Stampfel is also a current member of Michael T and the Vanities. At The Moment has a debut EP (Monte Carlo EP), and will release a full length album later this year.

“…what Stampfel is doing is putting his own stamp on an oldschool style, tuneful verses working their way up to irresistibly catchy resolutions when the choruses hit.” – New York Music Daily
