CLASHING PLAID - most demanded in Philly!

Despite being in the top five for the entire run of the voting, and having the most votes, the winner in the Philly area "OPEN for KISS" contest was NOT CLASHING PLAID.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who gave us so much support in the "OPEN for KISS" contest!  We were truly blown away by all of YOU and the voting, blogging, posting, sharing, etc that was done to help us spread the word about this contest! 

Philly fans made their voices heard and made CLASHING PLAID the most demanded band in the Philadelphia area!  Unfortunately we didn't have the right management or connections to win.

The numbers tell the story...

PENNY COLLECTION REVIEWS!

        
 

Clashing Plaid Continues to Rock with “Penny Collection”

by Alana Janelle Mauger

“Penny Collection (2009, self-released),” the fifth album from Philly rockers Clashing Plaid, is a solid effort steeped in old school rock n’ roll with enough punk influence to delight fans of both genres. The album features nine new tracks that range from the upbeat punk-inspired “Penny Collection,” “Saying I Love You,” and “She Loves Fire,” to the darker side of rock with “Remote Control Betty,” to the solid rock anthems “Johnny” and “Loud Box,” to the emotional eulogy of “Long Walk Home.”

The album features lyrics inspired by everyday life (think Social Distortion meets Bad Religion) intricately woven with melodic guitar riffs and cutting beats (think Rolling Stones meets Kiss)—evidence that Clashing Plaid has honed its synergy on the music scene for more than a decade. The guys (Steve Ackerman on drums and vocals, Kenny Leso on bass and vocals, Anthony Porter on lead vocals and guitar, and Andy Watts on lead guitar) also boast a devoted following of fans at venues throughout Philadelphia, its suburbs, and beyond. The availability of “Penny Collection” on CD Baby and iTunes will no doubt garner the band a broader following.

Five previously released bonus tracks–“Waiting for the Wrecker” and “Pretty Things” (“Play It Loud,” 2006), “Stick Around,” “Emotional Wreck,” and “Ghost on Main Street” (“Mix and Match,” 2003)—round out the release. The only notably missing fan-favorite is “31 of Those Days” off of “Play It Loud;” however, the 2006 release is solid in its own right and is available for free download at www.clashingplaid.com. Also not to be missed is the band’s 1999 holiday single “All I Got for Christmas Was Drunk,” also available on the band’s website.

PENNY COLLECTION - review!

by Lord Darkness

WOW!! I saw this band a while back at a local club, they put on an amazing live show! So much energy. They didn't have any cd's at the time, so glad they're up on iTunes. This is a great collection of songs. A good mix of hard driving rock,..."Remote Control Betty", "She Loves Fire", "Loudbox" blew me away. They really captured their live energy. The few slower ballads peppered in are cool enough grab you significant other for a dance, or just start your feet tapping, I can not recommend it enough!
        
 

PENNY COLLECTION - review!

by CDJUNKY

Here we have a local band from Philly that took bits and pieces from SOCIAL DISTORTION, ROLLING STONES, and The BLACKHEARTS, mixed together and made their own brand of 3 chord, in your face Rock & Roll. There is not one bad song on this album.. If you like a little punk in your rock and a little rock in your punk, by all means pick this collection up.  After playing this glorious slab of plastic, I was compelled to yell ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!! Take a bow Fellas, you earned it!!
