D-TENSION & THE SECRETS D-TENSION: GUITAR AND VOCALS WILLIE CONRAD: LEAD GUITAR AND BACKING VOCALS JARED HOLADAY: GUITAR, KEYS, SAX, AND BACKING VOCALS KEITH VALCOURT: BASS AND BACKING VOCALS JOHN KOKAS: DRUMS D-TENSION & THE SECRETS IS A ROCK AND ROLL BAND FROM LOWELL, MASS FRONTED BY VETERAN SINGER/SONGWRITER D-TENSION. THE BAND WAS FORMED DURING COVID LOCKDOWN AS AN INTERNET COLLABORATION AND EVOLVED INTO AN ACTUAL BAND THAT HAS BEEN PLAYING LIVE FOR TWO YEARS. THEIR DEBUT RECORD, D-TENSION’S SECRET ROCK & ROLL PROJECT, WAS RELEASED IN 2021. THE VIDEO FOR THE LEAD SINGLE, “KENMORE SQUARE” – AN ODE TO THE GOLDEN ERA OF BOSTON ROCK – HAS THOUSANDS OF VIEWS ON YOUTUBE. THE BAND’S SOUND IS BASED ON CLEVER LYRICS, CATCHY HOOKS, TIGHT ARRANGEMENTS, AND LOTS OF HARMONIES WITH STYLES RANGING FROM TWANG TO HEAD BANG. THEIR NEW RECORD, TALES FROM THE PUB, IS DUE IN APRIL 2023. THE FIRST SINGLE, “THE NO NAME SONG” IS GETTING AIRPLAY ON STATIONS NEAR AND FAR.

The Daylilies are a band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including Ad Frank (…and the Fast Easy Women, Lifestyle), Matt Klain (Mistle Thrush), Mike Quinn (Reverse, Dragstrip Courage), Adam Goodwin (Joe Turner and Seven Levels, PermaFrost) and Maine native Laura England Klain (The Feather Lungs, The Sweet Terror).  Drawing on this extensive and highly impressive experience, their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though electronic rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate.  Cell tower triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low.

TELL features cinematic pop/rock songs with killer dance beats and a nod to Eighties icons like Midnight Oil and Television. ​

Charming Arson consists of fuzz drenched poetry, slick licks, and hints of eastern mysticism—all brought to you courtesy of Dave Cameron (guitar, lead vocals), Stefano Bellezza (lead guitar), Aaron Clark (bass), and Dave Gould (drums). Everyone sings!
