Serial Obsession ' is an NYC based mainstream/radio friendly Rock band combining old school high energy guitar driven rock with a modern /alternative melodic approach to songwriting
Obsession: The total and complete domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire…or ROCK’N’ROLL
New York City’s Serial Obsession is a band that would sound right at home had it emanated from the sleazy Sunset Strip of the late 80‘s early 90s Hollywood where Guns N’ Roses and Motley Crue first held court. Yet they’re on the other coast, bashing away with their stylistic synthesis of hard rock, glam, grunge, classic rock and metal, all with a punk attitude, all original, and instantly memorable as hell. In an era where new, young, exciting, melodic rock bands have decidedly taken a back seat, Serial Obsession dredges up the kind of glory that came with the likes of Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, Velvet Revolver and KISS yet has faded into distant memory.
Until now.
With the release of their 2015 ,4 song EP “Pull The Pin”, Serial Obsession takes their influences from the past and injects a modern attitude that is pointed towards the future.
Singer Shawn Sugrue has the kind of voice that stops traffic. Emotional, passionate, his pipes are only exceeded by his stage presence. He’s the visual magnet. Bassist Jason Rosin joins with drummer T Motts as the anchor, the tightest rhythm section in town, one that will give your sub-woofer a real work-out. Guitarist Andrew Kadar is under the radar now, but watch out! He’s a six-stringed hero, well-versed in his forebears enough to assimilate the aesthetic of Van Halen/Slash/Page into his own unique captivating style.
Ultimately, words are meaningless, you have to hear them, see them, feel them. They get under your skin. It’s in the almighty riff, the hummable melodies and the attitude. Their bombast is infectious. Audiences at Irving Plaza, CBGB, BB King’s, The Highline Ballroom and Terminal 5 in Manhattan know. So do crowds in Brooklyn, Ithaca, Syracuse and Connecticut.
Serial Obsession is on a mission to bring back the kind of rock that rolls with soul and doesn’t mind getting up and in your face so that you’ll be reminded of the heights that this great music of ours—rock’n’roll—can still achieve.
They say that there is no obsession like a Serial Obsession . One listen and you’ll be obsessed. Mike GreenBlatt-Rock Journalist

Weesp was formed in 2008 in Minsk by Lex (vocals), Mi (bass) and Mike (guitar). Guys were playing covers, did tons of experiment with sound and were trying to form unique style of a band.
"We wanted to be recognized by our sound right from the start", says Mi.
In 2010 Gul joined the band as permanent drummer and Stak (Mi's twin brother) took place behind the electronics. The team was complete and ready to rock. By 2015, Weesp recorded three EPs and gave quite a number of conerts in Belarus and bunch of European countries.
In August 2015 the band released their first full album The Void. It features few tracks, done in collaboration with Cory Brandan from Norma Jean, and overall the album received positive feedback from fans and reviewers. It's interesting that band did not use any samples in album recording, but instead invited other musicians to record live music. This is why you can hear, for example, saxophone in "Livan" track.
"We do it oldschool-style", admits Lex, "because we want the music to be sincere. Maybe it's the hard way, but that's how we do it".
