Artist description The music of Stick 'Em Up is a story of many influences coming together to form one unique sound. It is not reggae, it is not ska, it is neither funk nor punk. But you will here a little of all those in their music. The rhythm and structure is distinctly reminiscent of Jamaican Dance Hall Music, while the guitars are funky with pure rock overtones (that's more Joey-Santiago-Pixies pure than say, Eddie-Van-Halen-macho-rock). Stick 'Em Up's front-man, Noah Waggener, brings a pronounced air of classic DC punk, giving Stick 'Em Up the edge that rounds out their individual style.

Music Style Funky Reggae Skunk (Ska/Punk)

Musical Influences The Clash, Peter Tosh, The DC Swindlers, Yanni

Artist History Stick 'Em Up formed in early 1997 when five guys, dejected from being cut from the Backstreet Boys try-outs, got together to play a little music of their own. Since then they have enjoyed playing with unwaxed chests in the Nags Head Area, Charlottesville, Blacksburg, Harrisonburg, Northern Virginia and good old Washington, DC. Their music appears on the recent Phonogram Compilation - which features the crème-de-la-crème in DC, Maryland and Virginia bands - and has been solicited for surf and extreme sports videos nationwide.
