 | | Rye is the solo band from Moist/David Usher bassist Jeff Pearce and he's traded in the 4-string for guitar and steps up as the frontman. |
 | | Pearce, who co-wrote three Moist albums (with sales totaling a million) started demoing Rye material in his home studio, and recruited a band: guitarist Sean Kelly and drummer Steve Nunnaro (both of Crash Kelly) and local bassist Robert Shaw. |
 | | Founded in 2002, after Lou Rumour (vocals/piano) and Just Janelle (guitar, vocals) were introduced to Melissa Starr (bass, vocals) by their mutual tattoo artist within a year, the band had played with Taking Back Sunday, the D4, Danko Jones, The Donnas, The Tea Party and Swollen Members. |
