Senior Discount has played over 200 shows in RI, MA, CT, NH, NJ, NY, PA, and VT, and won the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll for Best Punk Band two years in a row. We've shared the stage with such acts as Gym Class Heroes, Girl Talk, Boys Like Girls, The Bravery, Guttermouth, Less Than Jake, The Ataris, Leftover Crack, A Wilhelm Scream, the Street Dogs, Zox, Big D and the Kids Table, Darkbuster, The Swingin Utters, Rehab, Mickey Avalon, Streetlight Manifesto, the Bloodshot Hooligans,The Loved Ones, MC Lars, Suburban Legends, Patent Pending, The Toasters, The Pilfers, and many many more. Our first album "There Were Four Who Tried...", has gotten positive reviews from all over the US (and internationally), including very positive reviews from Maximum Rock N Roll (CA), which boasted, "These guys can rock and scream….a strong full-length," and the revered AbsolutePunk.net, which stated "The band really acts out their emotions….Every track from the album is an anthem to punk rock's principles." Our second release received the comment "These guys slay on record and live!" from mash-up DJ sensation Girl Talk. We also focus heavily on film production, as we've used short films to promote for our shows and releases. Our one full-length film ("VBW Attack: The Senior Discount Movie") was reviewed by The Noise (Boston) which reported "...let's just say that this DVD is gold and that the band, and those with them, have some mighty winds at their sails." The national television network G4 has bought and aired footage from the film. The band has totalled around 40,000 views on their streaming video sites. Upon the release of our newest package, the CD/DVD "This is Not the End," Upstarter (CA) said "The band has developed an obvious maturity....serious and sincere" while The Noise (Boston) called the album "smart, loco, epic punk...a pleasant assemblage of earnest songrcraft." In the past year, the band played some dates of theSka Goes Solo tour with the lead singers of Less Than Jake and Catch 22, while lead singer Chuck Staton played solo shows with Chuck Ragan (The Revival Tour/Hot Water Music) and Kris Roe (The Ataris). We were recently nominated for Best Pop Punk Band in Motif Magazine. Award-winning punk rock band and filmmakers from Providence. Senior Discount = Josie and the Pussycats, but with dicks.
