For the past three years The Influence has been busy immersing itself into what has become a vibrant East Coast rock scene. Thriving on their hybrid fusion of acoustic and electric sounds, luscious counter-melodies and five part harmonies, The Influence has established their presence amongst the elite rockers of today.

The five piece (originating from Virginia) is influenced by the familiar sounds of the great 90s rock movement but is undeniably rooted in late 60s and early 70s rock sensibility. Matthew Archer Stephenson's smokey, Peter Gabriel reminiscent vocals provide a candid look at the harsher, more provocative themes usually locked deep within the vaults of the more tortured minds. Channeling the introspective and often desperate ideas set forth in the songs are the beautiful ever intermingling guitars of long time friends John Zontini and WIll Clarke. The passion set forth is striking and effervescent when played in conjunction with the hard thumping beats of drummer Collin Cogan and Bassist Chris Tully. Their on stage delivery is pure chaos in its' search for perfection. An influence show is pure expulsion usually leaving a stage dismantled and the audience enamored.
