Considered by Under The Gun Review as “without a doubt one of the most promising young bands to exist in the last decade,” Actor|Observer is a post-hardcore band from Boston, MA whose style is comparable to the steadfast conviction and emotional intensity of Defeater, interspersed with the melodic and tonal range of Thrice. Every live set is brimming with visceral emotion, sincerity, and a refusal to sit still. Their most recent album and debut full-length, The Longer Now, produced by Jay Maas of Defeater (Counterparts, Bane, Vanna), was an enormous and defining leap forward for the band, with poignant lyrical depth interwoven throughout a barrage of melodic and tonal fierceness that was only hinted at in previous recordings. With this release and a handful of tours under their belts, Actor|Observer are now on the verge of bigger things that have yet to be announced. Regardless of the show, the turnout, the time of day, or their physical/mental state, A|O is committed to delivering a consistent, honest performance, tearing open the crossed arms of complacency, and reminding people that this is not just some TV show; there is no fourth wall. You’re a part of this too. And whether you support that attitude or not, their message is the same: “People like you are the reason why people like us exist.”

I've been playing guitar for a long time now.  I've been singing even longer than that.  I've always loved music.  My first cassettes were The Beach Boys and The California Raisins.  I'm good with that, I think.

Rare and unreleased tracks that span the life of York, PA's The Underwater. This site is being put up for posterity and the protection of these tracks which may well have disappeared otherwise. The quality of these tracks reflect the conditions and the years in which they were recorded.  I've done my best with dating them but it's hard to be precise as we tended to record in clumps of 4 or 5 songs and it has been several years. Also included with most of these tracks are lyrics and some notes on the songs themselves. This page is dedicated to everyone who played with us, worked with us, and the fans who supported us over the years. Enjoy!

The boys of Silver City Rodeo grew up together in the small rural town of Elizabethtown Pennsylvania. After their high school years life took them in different directions. The band started in the winter of 2011 when Andrew Fausnacht moved back to Pennsylvania after spending a few years tucked away in the Appalachian mountains on the eastern side of Kentucky. A few years before that, drummer Neil Martin spent some time traveling the country with a few close friends. When these two fella's reconnected in late 2010, they started writing some tunes fueled off those experiences. A few months later they asked some old friends to join in the fun.

"Consistently stellar" (Price, PA Musician Mag), "Andy Mowatt's Steely Jam" is a funk-driven powerhouse from Pennsylvania, led by guitarist Andy Mowatt, "an absolute musical genius" (Devoy, Tellus 360) and "jazz-rock flamethrower on guitar" (Campbell, Gigspots). A fusion of New Orleans and Central PA, Mowatt's "bright arrangements keep things sounding fresh" (PA Musician) and "inspire you to expand your mind and think outside the confines of traditional jazz, soul and funk!" (Robert, Positive Music Reviews). "Confident, to-the-point, and elegant" (Rocha, The Flinging Times), Andy and his group entertain and impress crowds with unique originals and modern twists on classic hits, "and yet, through many influences, each tune retains a sound that is distinctly Mowatt's" (O'Brien, Fly Magazine).

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
