Garage-kept rock ‘n’ roll madness. Original parts. Est. 2018 in Reading, Pennsylvania. Drew & the Blue is Drew West, Taylor Lawrence, and Mandy Veloz.
Their latest release, Cigarette, calls back to a time when aesthetic was more important than health. Why not? It’s a quick and easy listen recorded in Drew’s Garage. Give it a spin.
The band takes inspiration from the sounds of garage and surf, along with many of the primordial rock ‘n’ roll icons. Their debut self-titled album was released in April 2022, and provided the band with a platform to begin touring the east coast of the U.S. Love You to Death, their first single off the album, is a tale of desperate love. Oogie Boogie, the second single, provides the sonic backdrop to an autumnal haunted house party. The Blue has opened for bands such as: Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds, Black Lips, Southern Culture on the Skids, Jon Spencer, Bloodshot Bill, Nekromantix, and Daikaiju. Stay tuned for new releases coming Fall ’24.

Based out of Philadelphia, PA, Ameripolitan rockabilly outfit, Mighty Joe Castro & The Gravamen is the latest musical project from accomplished collage artist and musician Joe Castro (ex-The Situation, The Lift Up). Influenced by 50’s Rock and Roll and infused with post modern Easter eggs cribbed from old episodes of MTV’s 120 Minutes, Mighty Joe Castro takes a modern, lyric driven approach to songwriting while The Gravamen layer on Jesus and Mary Chain-cover-Link Wray guitar atmosphere, booming doghouse bass and swinging beats. The quartet lurks at a crossroads where Sun Records and Creation Records meet.
