From Westfield, Massachusetts, The Prozacs have been a long running and really rather good "proper" pop punk band that called it a day last year (though who would stake their mortgage that we won't one day hear from them again?). https://theprozacs.bandcamp.com/
Not one to let the grass grow under his feet, J Prozac (aka Jay Gauvin) released a solo album called Here Is My Heart, which was an intimate, slower paced affair than his previous full band material but which still hit the spot (http://jprozac.bandcamp.com/album/here-is-my-heart).
This year though sees the birth of new band called Stiletto Bomb, an energetic pop punk act that is influenced by many of the best bands of recent years (Bad Religion, Descendents, The Dickies, Nirvana, 80's era Iron Maiden etc....). I've heard a handful of songs by them and I think this could end up being Jay's best project so far.
As well as Jay on vocals and guitar, Stiletto Bomb also feature his better half, Andy Nihilate who's female vocals bring an extra dimension to proceedings. Drum duties go to Matty Prozac and a couple of members of veteran Massachusetts band Uncomfortables, Scotty Blood (bass/vocals) and J Blood (lead guitar) round out the line up to great effect.
Their debut release will be an ep on Mooster Records which is penned in for the 1st June. To whet your appetite here's a taster which in my humble opinion is going to be one of the best songs of 2015. This is Ampgrinder, you can snap it up here : http://stilettobomb.bandcamp.com/releases
He's coming down, like a hammer from the sky.
He's coming down, can see the fire in his eyes.
He's coming down, with the vengeance of the crowd.
He's coming down, and he's gonna get you.
Six Strings he's Ampgrinder.
No one's gonna mess with Amprgrinder.
He's coming down, with the bloodstains on his hands.
He's coming down, a wild beast inside a man.
He's coming down, vision blurred senses gone mad.
He's coming down, and he's gonna get you.
Six Strings he's Ampgrinder.
No one's gonna mess with Amprgrinder.
