about Reverse Order:
Reverse Order is having the time of their life. They’re the 2008 and 2009 winners of The Break Battle of the Bands, the official contest for BAMBOOZLE. Both years they competed with over 300 bands to win a spot at the two day music festival called BAMBOOZLE held annually at the Meadowlands. The judges enjoyed their stage performance and the way they got the crowd involved. They also commented that the band was, “tight and radio ready”.
Since last year’s festival they’ve been off and running. They've increased their fan base, catalog of songs and venues. They've even released their first album which is being played on local, college and a few radio stations around the world. Their new song, "Don't Ever Let Go" was requested to be on the compilation CD Vs. the World to benefit the organization, She Writes Love on Her Arms and The Break CD. They’ve also been asked to perform at the PNC Arts Center, Six Flags Great Adventure and will be going on a tour in the US this summer.
If you attend a Reverse Order concert you can expect to see a high energy performance, synchronized jumps, guitar tricks, and a talented group of young rockers that have awesome personalities on and off the stage.
The band was formed by John and Cruise Russo. They started out as child actors who worked on TV shows like As The World Turns and One Life to Live and in movies like, The Groomsmen. Then their love turned to music and their living room turned into a rehearsal studio. While performing with the School of Rock band they decided they wanted to write and perform their own music. High School friends, Mike Spadafora and Justin Bylina heard and loved the music and joined the band.
The boys enjoy a wide variety of music but their main influences are 90’s and Alternative Rock Bands. Besides originals they play a long list of covers. Everything from the Jonas Bros. and Maroon 5- The Rolling Stones and ZZ Top. They have enough material to perform for hours. Check out their videos at www.myspace.com/reverseorderband and www.reverseordernj.com.
Other highlights have included appearing on My9 News with Lynda Lopez, Performing at the Quick Chek Balloon Festival following Disney’s Demi Lovato, NY Rocks TV, and Tuesday Night Rocks.
Other venues they've played include: The Stone Pony, The Meadowlands, The Crocodile Rock, The Junkyard, The Highline Ballroom, Maxwell's, The Mountain Laurel Spa & Resort, The Hoboken Italian Festival, The Hex2 at Mountain Creek and Roller Jam USA.
They've opened for Push Play, Peter Frampton, Antigone Rising, and Question Mark and have share the bill with Panic At The Disco, Jimmy Eats World, Chiodos, and Paul Rodgers.Members of the band have also played with Carmine Appice, Joe Broussard, and John Wetton.
