Rank

RANK, die Urväter des alpenländischen Multi-Kreudrüber, werden 1993 von den vier Wiener Jungspunden Thi F, G.U.B.Y, Zod und rub-a-dub gegründet. Als gleichzeitig sportlichste Band der Republik gewinnen sie zum Auftakt die beiden Um-Die-Wette-Rock-Bewerbe PopODrom und AustrianBandContest.
Mit ihrem leichtfüßigen Mix aus Gerocke, Gepoppe & Gerappe, sowie dem unüberlegten Einsatz von Offbeat, Computerknöpfen und Fantasieverbalismen entzückt die Band ihr Publikum in mehr als hundert Shows (davon dreißig in Deutschland).

Originally calling themselves Jericho, the boys released their debut album, When the Battery Dies, in 2000. Their fan base grew as they played DIY basement shows and small clubs throughout the Northeast.

Timeshares

Timeshares is a punk rock band with roots tracing back to cold but peaceful upstate, New York. Just prior to their official formation in 2009, the burning desire for overpriced rent, constant traffic and personal debt found the members in loud and polluted downstate, New York. Since then, this hopelessly well-meaning group of four has been circling the country in a rusty '89 Chevy van, staying up all night with the locals and occasionaly writing songs. Discography: 2009 Demo CD
2010 Split 7" w/ Captain, We're Sinking (Kiss Of Death Records)

the old stuff someone else wrote... & NO apparently it also not the 80s band from Lawrence, KS... this group ruled the late '80s/early '90s scene & was as provocative as its name.
