About the Artist
"...like 40 years ago, when rock still had its roll..."
From clubs and colleges, to amphitheaters and music festivals, LUZER has performed for hundreds of thousands of people across the country since it formed in the final days of the last millenium. Whether it be upstaging the headliners or headlining themselves, LUZER is on a journey to bring their unique brand of power-pop rock n roll to the masses. In the words of LUZERs singer/songwriter Tim Mahoney, "We are just four guys who love rock n roll." But LUZERs not just that. They are four extremely talented young musicians who are standing tall on the horizon of the new millennium's "Rock N Roll Renaissance".
Formed in the final days of the last millennium, LUZER first joined forces in the hallways of Hamilton, NJ's Steinert High School. In the last four years, LUZER has performed for hundreds of thousands of people at clubs, colleges and music festivals throughout the USA including appearances with Vendetta Red, Silvertide (currently opening for the Van Halen reunion tour), and a 2002 national summer tour with Tims father and uncles, The Mahoney Brothers.
In 2003, LUZER continued to perform live all over New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, including a regular engagement at Abilene on South Street in Philly and several appearances at Baltimore's top concert hall The Recher Theater. With a backload of new material overflowing, LUZER returned to the studio in the summer of 2003 to begin work on nearly thirty new songs.
On June 12, 2004, LUZER released their second full-length album, Reset. Released on Dubly Records, Reset features fifteen songs recorded from June 2003 through April 2004.
LUZER looks to the future with anticipation and confidence. When asked by the NJ/NYC rock paper "The Aquarian" what the band wants out of the music industry, bassist Chris Volk stated their philosophy best...
"...a lot of bands want cred and respect. F*ck that, we want to be rich famous rock stars."
Product Description

Released on Dubly Records, Reset is sure to renew your love life with your cd player.
