Diamond Dogz

From Northeastern Pennsylvania, Diamond Dogz are a street rock band, who mix elements 

of English punk rock and Oi! With an added hip-hop finesse, Diamond Dogz [spelled with a Z] 

has taken inspiration from the UK pop artist David Bowie, naming their band after his iconic 

album by the same title. The American Oi band consists of past and current members such as: prior drummer Mike Stone, current drummer and brother Sean Stone, bass guitarist Tony Capersino, and singer songwriter/ guitarist Mike Klug. Established in 2018, they released their 

2019 demo recording which landed them a deal with 8 Up Records, an independent record label. 

8 Up Records would go on to produce three releases which include, two various artist 

compilations and a 7in vinyl split.

The Despised NJ

Formed in 1996 by Ted Henderson ( bass and vocals) and Mike Ramirez ( guitar and vocals), 

The Despised NJ played up and down the state , with crowds ranging from 10 to 2000 people. 

In 1997 they released a self titled 7 inch and released their album 1999 on Black pumpkin 

records in 1998.

       The band went on a long hiatus and in 2018 reformed with long time fan Mike Keller of Sacrificial Blood on drums, since then they have released an ep called "WE STILL DON'T CARE" featuring the song "Stalkergeist" which is featured in the the upcoming Troma film, #SHAKESPEARESSHITSTORM, directed by independent film legend, Lloyd Kaufman. 

They were also lucky enough to share the stage with The Undead, The Dead Boys, and the US Bombs to name a few. Their recent release, a split 7 inch with Lehigh Valley Oi! band, Diamond Dogz, "FROM THE VALLEY TO THE SHORE" is being released on POOR MAN INC records.

Theophobia

Theophobia is a music and performance art group composed of Dylan Mars Greenberg 

(of TROMA's Shakespeare's Shitstorm) and wonder-guitarist Matt Ellin. Their work as a group 

has been seen in the NYTimes, an EP Length special on PBS, and AMNewYork among others. Guardian Angel's Curtis Sliwa said Theophobia is "the anarchy of the subway system. 

They were like the 2019 version of the Clash in the New York City subway system."

Dylan Mars Greenberg is an internationally acclaimed filmmaker, video artist and performer 

whose work has been seen in PAPER Magazine, VICE, and Rolling Stone among others. She 

has directed music videos and commercials seen on national television, several feature films, 

and most recently starred in Lloyd Kaufman's upcoming film, #SHAKESPEARESHITSTORM!
