Artist Profile: Pocket Bandits

A couple of weeks back, I wrote an artist profile on the band Front & Main, and one of my many takeaways from their sound was the outrageously talented Samuel B. Lupowitz, whom I’d rank up there with Tyson Alston as one of the region’s top keyboardists. So I was definitely excited to check out […]

Last October, I interviewed local music legend Benny Fiacco of Music City. I asked him if there were any music acts locally that stood out to him in a big way. And one of the music acts he replied with was Grown Ups, the only act he mentioned that I wasn’t familiar with at the […]

Artist Profile: Front & Main

I’ve always been a sucker for modern music acts that capitalize on retro sounds. Monophonics, Curtis Harding, Sloan, White Denim, Midlake, Vulfpeck, the Datsuns … I could list these performers I adore all day. But I’d much rather talk about a band on the rise in the Binghamton music scene that easily belongs within those […]

We put a lot of energy into promoting the Parlor City Sound—music that defies the boundaries of genres and breaks as many molds as possible. But there’s also a strong history of bands in our area that stick to and elevate specific genres, too. A point exemplified by Greater Binghamton’s hard-hitting classic blues rock band […]

Artist Profile: Gunpoets

From the get-go, we wanted Parlor City Sound to not just cover Greater Binghamton, but pretty much everywhere with a 607 area code. And few bands are as synonymous with the Central New York and Southern Tier music scenes as Ithaca’s legendary Gunpoets. Their popularity is so widespread in Greater Binghamton that not having them […]

Artist Profile: Floodlands

For those of our readers who only recently moved to Greater Binghamton, or those who haven’t been here (we have 422 monthly readers in Poland and we’re not sure why), you may not recognize why the band Floodlands has such an apt name. But there’s a reason longer-term locals tend to glance over the bridges […]

Artist Profile: Driftwood

When my wife Sara and I first sat down and started figuring out what we wanted this website to be and how it should work, we knew we wanted to cover the Binghamton music scene in a way Gord Downie might describe as fully, completely. And that means a lot of things, from profiling local […]

Artist Profile: Ms. Honey and the Hive

The Binghamton music scene is one that thrives on originality. So to find success in the Triple Cities as a cover band, there’s really two ways to go about it. Either you’re doing something unexpected like the Bro-Bro’s, or you’re taking the Ms. Honey and the Hive approach: carving out a niche you’re genuinely passionate […]

Artist Profile: The Bro-Bro’s

Matt Terzi — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 16:45:19 +0000

When you hear the phrase pop punk, you probably think of mainstream acts like Green Day and Blink-182. But for fans of the Binghamton music scene, there’s one act that has completely turned the phrase “pop punk” on its head. We’re talking, of course, about the Bro-Bro’s. Formed from a variable who’s who of Binghamton […]

Artist Profile: Kipani

The Binghamton music scene has a lot of forward momentum right now. It’s honestly been a bit difficult to keep up with at times. Which makes it all the more impressive that the indie pop trio Kipani are blasting toward the stratosphere. That sonic boom is hard to miss, even in a city overloaded with […]
