In the vein of Yellow Card, SR-71 and the Goo Goo Dolls, Maryland/Delaware-based JParis claims to be the hardest working unsigned band in the world. The band has been together for just over four years and has accomplished more in that short time than many groups do in their entire careers.
JParis has built a broad fan base in the region -- fans with the kind of devotion and enthusiasm usually reserved for major acts with mainstream support. For anyone who has ever been to a JParis show, it's easy to understand why. The energy and personality of JParis are contagious, and they connect with the audience unlike any other local band in recent memory

"Black Bridge was another one they played that really sticks with you. It's got a good, sticky rythm and solid lyrics that just keep you coming back. This CD is surely worth your time to check out. So is their live performance."

Bio
The members of JParis, singer Jayce Gallagher, guitarist Sean G. Goodwin, bassist Rob Gallagher, and drummer Dennis "Peanut" Sullivan, are leaving an indelible mark on the mid-Atlantic rock music scene. JParis' first full-length release, 660, was released October 21, 2003 on BCD GLobal with the support of retail music giant FYE/Transworld Corporation. "Ghost", the first single from 660, is a catchy and emotionally powerful song that was first released to radio in early April 2004. It is now in regular rotation on Clear Channel's 96 Rock, and gets weekly airplay on many regional local stations."Talking to myself" will be released in a national college radio campaign Aug.1, 2004 and will receive regular rotation on as many as 500 stations.
Just prior to the official release of 660, JParis performed more than 30 free shows to promote the album at FYE stores in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Texas. In a very short time, more than 1,000 albums were sold -- without the support of any established media outlets.
JParis has shared the stage with the likes of White Lion, Kix, Jackl and Staind, and has headlined just about every major venue in the mid-Atlantic region. The band continues to drive record sales in the important high school demographic by serving as public awareness spokesmen for the Delaware and New Jersey Public School System.
