Say Anything :
On ... Is a Real Boy, Say Anything told the ultimate coming-of-age story in a swirling storm of sex, drugs, angst and gut-wrenchingly honest rock & roll. Now the band is back with In Defense of the Genre, a wildly eclectic double album that tells the ultimate love story, complete with madness, exhilaration, depression and redemption.

Though she already had peeped fame as the voice of Sally and Lucy in the cartoon series Charlie Brown, a cast member of Kids Incorporated during her teen years, and a member of the all-female pop trio Wild Orchid, nothing could compare to the slamming success of being recruited by BEP.

The Honey Brothers :
The Honey Brothers like to tell people they formed one dog year ago at ukulele fantasy camp, then took to the streets of New York City, serenading street people and pretzel vendors with their whimsical new-wave folk tunes. This anecdote might tell you something about the spirit in which The Honey Brothers were conceived, way back in 2001 in the wake of 9/11.
