The Old Guard (MA)

 



(Now named Dry Spell) A Worcester, MA pop-punk band composed of vocalist Tom Rayder, Guitarists Xavier Mauprivez and Andrew Ollerhead, bassist Zach Sullivan, and drummer Matt Noyes

- LastFM


not gonna lie, I don't know much about this band besides the fact that they were around as TOG from at least 2009 to 2013 after which they changed their name to Dry Spell, I saw on their FB that they have an acoustic EP but I can't find it. if anyone has it lmk


this EP according to my metadata was released in 2009 unsure if that's true; as for sound they sound like a mellow garage / pop punk band kinda like a more rock version of Pants Yell! or something, maybe i'm off in that judgment and you all would like to listen yourselves

  1. This is awesome, thank you for sharing, but a lot of the details are off here. The Old Guard was based on Long Island, NY circa 2009-2010 and is not associated with MA or Dry Spell. The band consisted of, from left to right in that picture, Kevin Miller (myself) on keys, Rich Seibert on lead vocals, Dan Hillier on drums, Tom Kelly on bass, and Jesse Litwa on guitar. After a few roster changes and evolutions, Rich and Dan formed the band Maginot in NYC in the early-mid 2010s.

  2. Also Jesse & Tom are in a band called Broadcaster that I believe still performs? https://broadcasterny.bandcamp.com/album/joyride
