THE DOUGHBOYS
ACT YOUR RAGE is a second stupendous slice of the catchiest rock’n’roll this side of the Passaic River from the Queen City’s favorite sons, THE DOUGHBOYS. It was released on January 1, 2010 as THE DOUGHBOYS unleashed sixteen new songs recorded with the able assistance of engineer KURT REIL (Grip Weeds) & mastering engineer ED STASIUM (Ramones, Living Colour, Smithereens, Marshall Crenshaw).
Two songs from ACT YOUR RAGE - I’M NOT YOUR MAN and WHY CAN’T SHE SEE ME? - have already been chosen as the Coolest Songs In The World by LITTLE STEVEN VAN ZANDT on his UNDERGROUND GARAGE show on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, with I’M NOT YOUR MAN being voted #3 Coolest Song in the World of 2009! (You may recall that THE DOUGHBOYS’ first single off their debut album, BLACK SHEEP, was likewise honored by LITTLE STEVEN & CO. & in fact was named the #2 Coolest Song in the World for all of 2008!) Tracks from ACT YOUR RAGE are being aired on radio around the world – WFMU, WBJB, WDHA, WVIA/WVYA, WMMM, North Fork Sound, Rumble Radio, Bluestimen, Radio Sor, KUSF Music Guru, WMEL, Fluxedo Junction Radio, to name a few.
THE DOUGHBOYS consist of Myke Scavone, lead vocals; Richard X. Heyman, drums & vocals; Gar Francis, guitar & vocals; & Mike Caruso, bass & vocals. THE DOUGHBOYS were one of the most popular of central Jersey’s bands in the ‘60’s. Mike & Richie formed the group with guitarist Willy Kirchofer in the fall of ‘64 & called it The Ascots. A year later Mike Farina & Myke Scavone from rival band The Apollos came on board. The Ascots changed their name to The Doughboys in ‘66 & got a recording contract with Bell Records by winning a battle-of-the-bands on Zacherle’s Disc-o-teen TV show. They put out two singles – Rhoda Mendelbaum & Everybody Knows My Name, as the band played weekly WMCA Good Guys shows all over the tri-state area.
Here is a video introducing the album and its colors and old time favorite Rhonda Mendelbaum

THE EASY OUTS
The Easy Outs are a Rock ban
d from Long Branch, NJ. that bring to the stage the sound of New York City Rock'n'Roll. The Easy Outs just released their first album and will be playing original tracks from their album. Their album is receiving positive reviews from radio stations in the US and Europe. Some say, “this is Ramones, Joan Jett and The Damned all rolled into one. Bottom line: Fun stuff from a genre that has been long forgotten…until now!” Jeb Wright http://www.classicrockrevisited.comOne of The Easy Outs song is called All I Want here is their music video
The Easy Outs band members are Bruce Ferguson lead vocals, Bobby Kennedy lead guitar/vocals, Bernie Branz drums and Gage Rowley bass/vocals. Putting these 4 members together and you get rock as it was meant to be.
Songs like “Little Miss Innocent” and “Sweet Revenge” address universally familiar and expected rock & roll subjects. “Emo Boy” skewers an entire musical genre.
The Easy Outs are a rock & roll experience that keeps you asking for more. http://www.myspace.com/theeasyouts
