Times Square

Recalling the fun and humorous part of punk rock and roll, Occasions Square drew on such affects as the Ramones as well as the Buzzcocks when it strike the Manhattan golf club scene in 1996. Obviously, Times Square is not a music group with an furious socio-political agenda–its lyrics ranged from the goofy towards the lighthearted. The trio includes lead vocalist/guitarist Jill Matthews, bassist Bobby Steele (previously from the Misfits) and drummer Dave Turetsky, most of whom had been approaching the music group like a part-time enterprise. Matthews, actually, is a specialist boxer who, in 1995, became the 1st woman to earn a “Golden Gloves” name. By 1998, Matthews (who phone calls boxing “the punk rock and roll of sports activities”) had shifted up to the “junior flyweight” level in the boxing pounds. And Turetsky, her spouse, is an lawyer. Instances Square’s debut recording, Learn It, premiered for the Peep Display label in 1996.
