Philadelphia’s Pep Rally is an Art Rock/Marching Band mash-up composed of 2 musicians who play a lot of instruments to make a big, fun sound. Frontman and noted producer/engineer Tommy Joyner percussion tuff girl Emily Roane combine to make upbeat, buzzy songs about gritty topics like jail and drug abuse such as “Turn the Radio Up” and “South Street.” You’ve never heard depression sound so happy. Producer/engineer Tommy Joyner, part-owner of Philadelphia’s MilkBoy the Studio, has recorded and produced for such notable artists as Silk Sonic, Miley Cyrus, Dave Matthews, James Taylor and also composed music for many nationwide advertising campaigns such Keurig, Black Box Wine, and NBC Sports. Recent albums recorded at Tommy's studio include Zach Bryan - Zach Bryan, Jazmine Sullivan - Heaux Tales, Lil Uzi Vert - Pink Tape, and Gorillaz - Cracker Island. After years of percussive composition and playing drums, most famously for Digable Planets, Tommy became interested in more melodic composing and singing. What started as an open mic lark to get people excited enough to let down their guard became PEP RALLY, which makes grown-up pop-rock of the best kind: immediate yet thoughtful, muscular but approachable, intelligent and danceable.
