The Dan Wos Project (DWP) is a Rock n Roll Party. After completing a successful road tour extensive NYC club dates and album promotion with Shock Rock Band U.S.Bandit, Dan Wos came back home to Upstate NY to form the club band that would change Albany's music scene and give it the high energy electrical shock it needed. Word on the street was that this guy "Johnny B" was the one to call for the drum position. They were right, John Buehler walked in with a trail of cigar smoke and a bag of rock beats that were just what the doctor ordered. But the band still needed another guitar. A friend introduced Dan to this guy named Glenn Winroth, a guitar player from Saratoga Springs, NY. People say Glenn is the quiet one in the band. Wait 'till his amp warms up. Together Dan and Glenn have created a guitar team most bands would die for. The dueling guitar solos, smokin' crybaby and insane talk box leads are what people are talking about when the topic of electric guitars comes up. These guys can play. Stan Lenic was asked to join the Project after sitting in on a gig in 2005. He was clearly the right choice for bass player and gives the band's sound that Kick in the Pants every rock band wants. The band has developed a song list of everything from Godsmack to a rock version of the hugely successful 70's disco song Funkytown and of course Dan's sizzling original material including Burn Out, Voodoo man and Wild Child. The highlight of the live show is definitely the Peter Frampton cover, "Do You Feel Like We Do" with Dan's extended live version talk box solo. This one sends the crowd into guitar frenzy every time.

Their musical teeth were cut in living rooms and basements, filed in laundromats & pavilions, and chipped at the Battle of the Bands at the local bowling alley-sometimes while not even in the same band. Just as Robert Johnson was to meet his destiny at the crossroads, the artistic and musical paths of Neil Eifitz, Chas Hollywood, & Lars Bumgratenschlef were destined to intersect.

The first exposure to multi-track recording came after a visit to Dream Studio, run by an aspiring singer-songwriter, Jim O'Brien. Inspired by the possibilities, Chas & Lars, in a flurry of creativity, and using the pen names of Gene Tobelsnaz & Sampson Burzitz, wrote & recorded Love Songs for Matty, quickly followed by Love Songs for Matty Vol. 2. The cassette-only releases gained an underground following in the greater Selkirk area, but the duo had their sights set on the horizon.

As fate would have it, and as the haze cleared after four-years of Stoli-pong, Neil, Chas, & Lars each found themselves on the west coast, living in California. It was then, in the Fall of 1996, that Lüt was born. Using borrowed equipment from Neil's' new-wave neo-pop ensemble, they set up a recording studio in the basement of an upscale San Francisco flophouse and hit the record button, resulting in The Devil.

1/4 cup of Westerberg, 4 tablespoons of Springsteen, 8 ounces of Ness, 3 slices of Mellencamp and a dash of Petty...mix that in with a pinch of humor and a sprinkle of sarcasm then stir vigorously. Pour on to any size stage...let it rock for 30 to 45 minutes.

Dave is also the front man of The Blisterz: A three piece rock band hailing from Albany, NY. They are comprised of a loud mouth guitar player who loves power chords in the key of G, a reserved yet stylish bass player who blinks during photos and performs wizardry on the 4-string, and a thrashing beast on the drums, who breaks sticks, kick drums and ladies hearts with reckless abandon!

They are loud, they are fast and they are infectious. Their three-chord anthems will have you shouting along before the second chorus. Influenced by bands such as Social Distortion, The Clash, the Buzzcocks, and the Goo Goo Dolls their sound is a guitar driven fury, fueled with catchy lyrics and a thundering back beat that brings you to your feet, throwing your fists in to the air.

Chris's influences run deep and, well, a bit sporadic to say the least; "Everyone from David Bowie to Julius LaRosa," he claims. The truth reads a little more like a rock and roll pedigree should:

"I've played guitar for as long as I could hold one. But I was never interested in playing in front of people until my sophomore year in high school. That's when I saw Sprinsteen live. My heart, my mind, my ears...my LIFE...it all changed! I went home and put on "Born to Run" and started learning the tunes one by one. I'll let you know when I got them right. Should be any day now."

From there it was life on the road and tour to the death. And as Busone will attest, the road is every cliche you've ever heard about it. "The first bands I was in were great. We played hard, and then, we played hard. It was an all out assault and we weren't giving an inch. It taught me how to play night after night and still have a voice. It taught me that there is only one way to play; as hard as you can for as long as can. It also taught me that I never want to sleep in a van with 5 other guys again."

Close quarters aside, the relentless playing schedule honed his craft and Chris grew out there among the bar-flies the beers lights. And that's what you hear today.

An extreme metal project made up of members of upstate New York's scene veterans: Last call , Execution Style, Politics Of Contraband and Conflict Of Interest. Formed in November of 2008, BLACK JOHN WAYNE is currently writing music breaking away from their previous bands -TROY CORE traditions. Relentless, intense, ear shattering, not for the weak. Rockin' thrashy hardcore that has been infused with a very jammy blues metal tinge! Hell is not a pretty place and neither is the world we we live in. BLACK JOHN WAYNE is currently finishing writing their first full length CD.

Ralph Renna has been one busy man as of late. He just Unveiled a major concert series under his Capital Underground Live banner, and now he's announced a new album from his band Black John Wayne. "Serenade of the Black and Blues" recorded at Albany's North Sea Studios with producer Brett Portzer, is due in early 2011. It't the first full length featuring 13 songs from this group of Troycore vets, and the recognizable sound is present- but Renna says they're "not afraid to break the mold they all helped shape in the 1990s.
