ABOUT THE BAND

A few years out of James Madison University, Chris Rossbach got into writing and recording original music. Long time friend Joe Gallagher (drums) had just built a nice 24 track studio in his house in Sterling, VA. The Smithereens recorded there.  Chris booked some studio time and  asked if Joe wanted to play drums on the tracks. That's when  they met Chris Fisher (bass) who also lived in Sterling at the time.  Joe suggested bringing in guitarists Keith Zulka and Chris Poindexter for lead and other work.
