Only On Weekends
New West, The Ripped Jeans Story, Modzilla

The seeds of Only on Weekends were planted over ten years ago by four high school students in Cherry Hill, NJ. The current line-up of the band is Harry (vocals / guitar), Kenny (bass / vocals), Anthony (drums) and Jes (keyboard / vocals).
Only on Weekends is a serious band that doesn’t take itself too seriously, drawing influences from bands like The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World. Our newest release is our EP, Dig In, which is filled with songs that are catchy and fun, while at the same time, heartfelt and meaningful. With themes of growing up and drifting apart from people that you used to hold closely, the songs on this EP are ones that just about anyone can relate to.
Drawing deeply on vintage-soul, hardcore, punk and reggae, Chris Zurich's music is sifted through a philosophic world-perspective, evoking memories of the late Jeff Buckley, whom his producer Craig Levy, an associate of Buckley’s during his late years, often compares him to.
Chris' own musical roots began in the Philly underground, rumbling with the punk/hardcore scene as a teenager, taking in the radicalism and aggression inspired by the tribal rhythms of communal youth, yet only beginning to discover his own voice after being exposed to musical visionaries, such as Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, Joe Strummer and John Lennon who spoke to global audiences. By fusing his understanding of the underground scene with sounds and ideas of bygone eras, his unique sound and vision would start to take shape.
The Ripped Jeans Story
Modzilla
Modzilla's punchy guitars coupled with solid rhythms, create a unique high energy pop/rock sound. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2011 displays the true attributes of this band; great song writing, soaring vocals, and tight musicianship. Modzilla is fronted by singer/songwriter Monica Stephenson, she brings her powerful vocals and true love of the stage. Bruce Herman's crunchy guitar riffs blend perfectly with John Lerro's clean and crisp guitar style. Michael DeAngelis' solid and explosive drumming along with Mike Rampone's syrupy smooth bass work provide the perfect rhythmic foundation. Don't miss this show!!
