The Silverwings are an Alternative “Blues-Punk” band based in Bayside, New York. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Jeff Starace, drummer Chris Morales, and bassist Sal Pisciotta.

The overall story isn’t miraculous. There were no “signs,” flocks of eagles the first time they played together, or a holy light, though I think we could all agree that would have been rather awesome.

Instead, the band is made up of a group of friends who, after going through a number of bassists, found a piece that fit the puzzle. They’ve also visited every pizzeria in College Point. Actually, let’s go back to that bit about eagles…it sounds much cooler.

Together, the group shares a passion for a diverse amount of music, from the melodic pop of The Beatles, the always-adventurous spirit of Muse, the blues-rock of Led Zeppelin, and the punk-inspired grit of Green Day.

Never ones to settle, the group continues to write new material from a diverse amount of influences, creating music that sounds familiar, yet unique and new.

The group has played numerous shows with various acts such as Allister, Hello Nurse, August Burns Red, Just the Tip, Digamy, Betty Poison, and Jump For The Sails, as well as many other local acts. The band has played shows at Webster Hall, The Knitting Factory, and The Vibe Lounge, Queens College, and with Taking Back Queens. The Silverwings continue to perform locally in the Queens, Long Island, Astoria, and New York circuit along with other local New York Bands.

Expressive Moscow-based indie rock trio Monokens formed in the early 2013. 
The band self released their debut video "Because" in December 2013, in anticipation of an EP "Catch the meteor" later in the year. 

Combining guitars, pulsing analogue synth, vocal melodies and chopping drum-lines, Monokens create agitating, organically fused rock and pop. 

The band's resilient sound - part post-punk revival and part eclectic indie rock, with a touch of 80's synth-pop - draws parallels to popular bands like the Franz Ferdinand, Foals and the Wombats. 

Today Monokens continue to work actively and have already started shooting the second video, at the same time working on the new songs that will be included on their first full length album, scheduled for the end of 2014.
