Founded by guitarists Bryn Bennett and Alex Necochea in 2005, it is composed of members of various indie rock bands from the area. In 2009, the group is signed with Black Sword Records, 8th Impression Music, and Fontana/Universal. \n History\nedit \"Break-up\" (2009) and \"reunion\" (2010): \nIt was widely believed that Bang Camaro broke up after performing at Game Unicon 2009 in Marlboro, MA, or after their performances at Rocklahoma 2009 in Norman, OK, and had their final performance in December 2009 in Boston, MA. Founder and lead guitarist Alex Necochea addressed their broken-up status as ultimately incorrect on the band's official blog in the weeks leading up to their fall 2010 show in Boston, MA. \n Musical style and influences\nThe band is composed of a bassist, a drummer, 2 guitarists, and a lead singer complement which comprises anywhere from eight to twelve vocalists. Their style is similar to late '70s-80s glam and anthem rock music. The basic song structure highlights catchy choruses and integrates frequent guitar solos. \nThe band cite Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly plus metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Skid Row, Def Leppard, and Dokken as influences. Discussing their anthem rock style, band member Alex Necochea said, \"We're really not heavy metal. I think our focus is more on writing great singles, as best as we can make them. That's just something Bryn and I grew up on. We're big fans of melody and big driving hooks, that sort of thing.\" \n Band members\n\nCurrent members \nAlex Necochea - rhythm guitar, \nBryn Bennett - lead guitar, \nDave \"Doz\" Riley - bass guitar, \nPeter McCarthy - drums, \nRodrigo Van Stoli - vocals, \nMorgan Brown - vocals, \nNick Given - vocals, \nRichie Hoss - vocals, \nGlen Fant - vocals, \nSteve Trombley - vocals, \nMike Soltoff - vocals, \nZach Given - vocals, \nJake Given - vocals, \nJay Clifford - vocals, \nDick Valentine - vocals, \nSean Barry - vocals, \nAndre Coles - vocals, \n\nPast members \nAndy Dole - drums, \nDylan Halacy - drums, \nGraeme Hall - vocals, \nJay Marsh - vocals, \nKeith Wales - vocals, \nJames Fant - vocals, \nJustin Buckley - vocals, \nMaclaine Diemer - guitar, keyboards, \nMax Heinegg - vocals, \nMike McKay - vocals, \nMike Oor - guitar, \nNate Wells - vocals, \nRobb Waters - vocals, \nChristopher Pappas - vocals\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Bang+Camaro","playStationPath":"/stations/283090576/play","stationId":283090576,"bioPath":"/music/Bang+Camaro/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Budgie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/784/784ede30b2ba5efdc29f2b5cd34c11d6_md.jpg","artistName":"Budgie","artistId":79603,"station_id":267497432},{"musicPath":"/music/Foo+Fighters","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/385/3856dc5a74a63fdb433acf4efd6e842c_md.jpg","artistName":"Foo Fighters","artistId":409,"station_id":113263578},{"musicPath":"/music/Enuff+Z+Nuff","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/75c/75ca4a5a32f2a9e157b0806d90a4560e_md.jpg","artistName":"Enuff Z'Nuff","artistId":95041,"station_id":276007867},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Cult","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8c7/8c73704877e38e509ad566259c3a5f94_md.jpg","artistName":"The Cult","artistId":1608,"station_id":113274556},{"musicPath":"/music/Extreme","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1ac/1acbd92efc8e0338e8261ecda8c20f4a_md.jpg","artistName":"Extreme","artistId":2725,"station_id":113289116},{"musicPath":"/music/Phil+Campbell+and+the+Bastard+Sons","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f7d/f7d5835cff4b8a7c726b61dc7eef979c_md.jpg","artistName":"Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons","artistId":370356,"station_id":395131774},{"musicPath":"/music/Heaven+s+Basement","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/780/7803e78978bd2bf23ec758d912fe1351_md.jpg","artistName":"Heaven's Basement","artistId":216579,"station_id":374539788},{"musicPath":"/music/Mr+Big","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f79/f79b1bd09f7284712e617d114a895704_md.jpg","artistName":"Mr. Big","artistId":9924,"station_id":113277505},{"musicPath":"/music/Creed","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b03/b0350e2b5323a0b7558f4db7c54b988c_md.jpg","artistName":"Creed","artistId":2572,"station_id":113273176},{"musicPath":"/music/Blue+Oyster+Cult","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a37/a37ed9f3c3d94bfbc549d024a999558f_md.jpg","artistName":"Blue Oyster Cult","artistId":187,"station_id":113264204},{"musicPath":"/music/Breaking+Benjamin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/54d/54d9cb4859d5fad8f9c306d07d64a556_md.jpg","artistName":"Breaking Benjamin","artistId":2120,"station_id":113262402},{"musicPath":"/music/Winger","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ecd/ecdaa4928ebdbc530d1172dfc0998078_md.jpg","artistName":"Winger","artistId":47359,"station_id":203773295},{"musicPath":"/music/Alice+Cooper","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/373/37308ed1496761a8727b442a925684e2_md.jpg","artistName":"Alice Cooper","artistId":54,"station_id":113266382},{"musicPath":"/music/Valient+Thorr","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/293/2935714c60f80dfb732d65427170296a_md.jpg","artistName":"Valient Thorr","artistId":12639,"station_id":115503635},{"musicPath":"/music/Poison","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/983/983b2641ad61f06e61a3f9413dcb97bd_md.jpg","artistName":"Poison","artistId":1766,"station_id":113263868},{"musicPath":"/music/Thin+Lizzy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f5d/f5d3fbbcf1a1a05f9f9a60bc0a5079a8_md.jpg","artistName":"Thin Lizzy","artistId":7730,"station_id":113273897},{"musicPath":"/music/Silvertide","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bd6/bd66bff0f6d4be88f04e5993fc634f23_md.jpg","artistName":"Silvertide","artistId":11801,"station_id":113462270},{"musicPath":"/music/Dark+New+Day","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/204/20426cc6dc3610a57a5a39968c22597f_md.jpg","artistName":"Dark New Day","artistId":56715,"station_id":260058131}]}
