Artist History An emotionally driven pop-punk band from the New Jersey Shore, Different*Strokes has gained a strong following due to their easy to relate songs about life, friends,girls and anything else that could possibly go wrong. The band consists of Ryan Dwyer on lead guitar and vocals, Bo Myers on rhythm guitar, Rob Petrillo on bass and Tom Law on drums. They started out as many local bands do, playing cover songs for their friends at small places in their hometown and that was good enough, however, they were only getting started. There were three recordings released including, a self titled, "Between You and Me", and the new 7 song EP "Someday You'll Thank Me For This" to be released on Heavy Water Records. D*S is currently planning an East Coast tour in late December to promote the new album and is currently sponsored by Windigo International.Although the first recording was a success, when compared to the new album,"Someday You'll Thank Me For This", it is clear that the band's new sound is a reflection of a group that's musical talent is growing with maturity. They now play such venues as Club Krome, M and M Hall, The Saint, Ground Zero and the infamous Stone Pony. The sound the band comes through with and plays is shocking. The live performance put on is amazing,the audience participation and the emotion put into every show is beyond comparison and D*S only gains more energy with every performance.
