Artist History
Beginning as Fill Up Phil in early 1999, Fenway
Park reformed several times due to relocations and
personal difficulties. After tragedy struck the
band in early 2001, Singer and Weinstein decided
to rename Fill Up Phil, regroup and begin the trek
of carrying on original bassist Brad Evan's legacy. |

Press Reviews
"The following band was Fenway Park. They had a
more mellow sound than the All Stars (but it was
still pop-punk-rock). Noah, the singer had a
really wonderful voice. He serenaded the ladies
in the front row (yeah there were a LOT of ladies
there…) as they worked their Fenway magic. Their
songs were distinctly different from each other,
and there was never a point where I was wondering
where the transitions were. They sold quite a few
CD’s that night (their current Demo) and I
happened to spot their new FP pins on several
people, the crowd was diggin Fenway Park, and I
dug it too."

Socal this weekend...if you're looking for a great
rock band in the vein of Weezer this is it!"

"It comes in a plain brown wrapper inside a simple
plastic sleeve, but Fenway Park's three song rock
demo contains enough talent to hopefully persuade
this four piece band into the realm of a full
length CD. It's the hard core rhythm guitar
textures juxtaposed against Noah Singer's more
melodic vocal delivery that provides the element
of surprise in this music. Additional surprises
include a harmonica hook line played by Singer
on the first song, "The Mysterious Brother
Willians." On "El Sueno," with segments of
almost '50s sounding chord progressions amongst
slamming guitar sounds, it seems those Happy Days r
reruns might still be influencing the youth of
America. Meanwhile song two, "Girls Just Leave"
sounds more like straight up Indie rock with fun
harmonies, energy, and ultra solid punk
influenced drumming by Mikey Weinstein. Still in
their early twenties, these young musicians have
already overcome personal tragedy with the death
of a band member from an earlier musical
configuration, called Fill up Phil. But with the
new Fenway Park name, they've regrouped and are
once again filling clubs with their finely tuned
enthusiasm, music, and hopefully -- fans."
