US HARD ROCK 2002

Neu / New

Album:

Strong hooks coupled with memorable choruses have always driven the hard rock music of Sinopoli. It can be said that their style has always remained true to their roots and classic rock influences (Queen, Kiss, David Bowie), but the truth is very simple - a good song is a good song no matter how much time goes by. Trends may change, but the bottom line is that the music scene always tends to return to rock n' roll in one form or another.

History:

Sinopoli burst upon the New Jersey rock scene at a time when other locals such as Bon Jovi (maybe you've heard of them?) and Skid Row were securing their footing in rock history. The band was a regular staple at the legendary Olsen's, and was know to dazzle local shore crowds at The Chatterbox, Galaxy and Captain Hook's as well. "Got Me Going" was a legitimate local hit at a time when the smaller radio stations could actually pick the songs that they wanted to play, and Sinopoli was heard on the airwaves along side such other hard rock luminaries as Def Leppard, Poison, Guns N Roses, Skid Row and the aforementioned Bon Jovi. Never one to be pigeon-holed, these hard rockers displayed a wide variety of styles in their songwriting, and easily found favor with rock fans both young and old. Their independently released EPs "Rock To The Top" and "Sinopoli II" sold well at concerts and in area record stores. Although the climate of the music industry drastically changed a few years later, Sinopoli still played to crowds whenever and wherever they could. In the late 90's, reunion shows featuring the original line-up of Joey and Nicky Sinopoli, Bobby Abranowicz and Kevin Meyer were a big draw at 9 Bar South in Bayville, NJ. Time has shown that the impact of their classic hard rock sound never has never actually died.
