A five-man high-energy machine, Prima Donna have only been on the scene for three years, yet in that time have knocked out over 325 shows, nearly a third of which were overseas. Their live show is a whirlwind of color, energy, bravado, volume, and an avalanche of catchy, sing-along choruses. Clearly inspired by the early punk of groups such as X-Ray Spex, the Ramones, and the Sex Pistols as well as '70s glitter such as Mott the Hoople and David Bowie, the group's sharp n' concise songwriting sidesteps any notions of the group being "retro." How retro can a group be if their average age is 22?

All of this live excitement and excellence caught the eyes and ears of Acetate Records, who in the past have had the good taste to issue music by such artists as The Hangmen, Throw Rag, Jackson United, The Black Halos and Nine Pound Hammer. Prima Donna's Acetate debut 'After Hours' is a ten-song collection of all-original, driving Rock n' Roll. Song's like "Soul Stripper" and "Dummy Luv" openly defy you to sit still, arranged to cause maximum sonic damage. Combining thick, rhythm guitars with stinging lead lines, the sound is explosive, propelled by ceaseless forward motion, yet never is melody sacrificed. Solos never noodle or shred - whether taken by Kevin (of Green Day side project Foxboro Hot Tubs) on guitar or Aaron on sax or keyboards, they are as soulful and melodic as the songs they support. Up front and center, Kevin proves to be the man of the hour, singing in a strong tenor that is at once sultry and swaggering, clear and unaffected.

Co-producing the album with Messiaz (Eddie Spaghetti, Neila, Monique Powell, Ladykillers), the band's pure vision of what Rock n' Roll is permeates every track. Muscular riffs, to-the-point lyrics, killer licks, songs that get themselves over with in under three minutes - it ain't a formula if you're living it. These guys live it, all year 'round, on the road, in the studio, in the street.

A modern version of the sound championed by The Stooges, MC5 and other 60’s American Garage Rock bands, with a dash of The Doors style psychedelic keyboards.

The band formed in 2004 when Max found out that his brother, Cole, and their friend, Joey, were forming a band called, “The Raining Souls”. They didn’t have a bass player, and Max was in his first months of guitar lessons, so he decided to learn the Bass. After two years the band changed the name from “The Raining Souls” to “The Clocks”, name that didn’t stick out for too long because they discovered that were a lot of bands with such name. Then Cole and Max remembered their cousin, Emily, who suffers from a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. And Emily’s Army is a family based group that works to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Finally, they decided to call themselves Emily’s Army, ‘cuz it could raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis. Later in 2008, Travis joined the band, forming what we know today, as, Emily’s Army. Emily’s Army current line-up is, Cole Becker (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar); Max Becker (Bass); Joey Armstrong a.k.a. Chakka (Drums) and Travis Neuman a.k.a. T Bag (Lead Guitar).

Zachary James and the All Seeing Eyes play good old rock 'n' roll music that combines infectious hooks & sweet harmonies with the soulful-swagger of the 'Stones. Their raucous Richards-esque riffs, set to T-Rex's clog-stomp, inject early 70's glam a-la Faces with a dose of paint-it-black magic as captivating as Alice Cooper’s face paint. James' bewitchingly blues-drenched guitar work calls to mind the great Robert Johnson, interpreted like a charmer through Ronnie Wood's snakelike slide-style. Any old way you choose it, this consistently catchy album casts a spell that forces its listeners to jump, sway and sing under the spell of a Hoodoo moon.
