Featuring powerful vocals, slammin' guitars and a driving rhythm section, Japhy’s strong performance provides an exciting live attitude and captivating presence.
The band's magnetic energy is fuelled by Michael Stanfield's provocative lyrics, infectious rhythms and insightful themes which are both intimate and global in scope. Michael's unique style is perfectly complimented by Mike Spriggs' inspired lead guitar, Mike Kerr providing percussive accents with Rob DeSimone and Bobby Crane holding down the backbeat and pulse of the band.
