Showcase

Ex local Maryland Band. Unfortunately, they've been broken up for about 4 years now. Showcase's music does not fit into any one particular genre of rock, so they refer to their sound as being "NEOP rock". NEOP rock is described by Martin as "punk without the powerchords, emo without the whining, pop without the crappiness, and modern rock without sounding like everything else on the radio." By combining influences from these and other genres, Showcase has a very original driving rock sound that cannot be heard anywhere else.
