Catching Up With Molina, Battle of the Bands 2016
This week's highlighted Battle of the Bands competitor is none other than 2016's own Molina, Molina describes themselves as a "Binghamton NY based band derived from local artists who are making an impact in the music scene."
Members include Jon Molina on lead vocals and guitar, Nick Politi on drums and vocals, Eric Camp on bass and vocals and Jessica Politi on synth and vocals.
So what have they been up to? Quite a bit!
The Drive: What have you guys been up to since you competed in Battle of the Bands?
Molina: Since the 2016 100.5 Battle of the bands competition we have been keeping busy, not only writing new material, but playing all around Upstate Ny. We had the opportunity to play the MOVE Music Festival in Albany with many great names such as headliner Sawyer Fredricks (who had won the 2015 series of “The Voice”) , July Talk, and the Alchemystics just to name a few. We also have had the opportunity to open for “The Blind Spots” hot off their tour across country when they made a surprise visit to “Spotlight” on Court Street in Binghamton. We have also began recording again with Jeff DaBella at Mansion Audio Studio. We have some great new things planned for the future and are excited to share with everyone.
The Drive: What was your Battle of the Bands experience like?
Molina: Our experience with 100.5 Battle of the Bands was nothing short of amazing! Granted, we did not make it to the finals, but being able to communicate with so many great local acts made it one of the greatest experiences. It was great to see a radio station involve itself with local ORIGINAL music! Knowing that there is a great group of people locally who care about local artists makes the whole experience that much better!
The Drive: Any advice for new, original bands just starting out?
Molina: Our advice for any new band is to set goals. Stay positive and never stop moving forward. Once you reach your goal set another goal. We are constantly setting goals for ourselves any thing from practicing more to playing more gigs! To reach your goals you also need to stay positive, because negativity can spread like wild fire and in most cases can be counter productive.When your are productive and set your goals, you with find yourself moving forward.

Reviews-

"Once I listened to their debut track, "Swing Devotion", I knew we had to feature them on here."
"When I first heard Molina's sound, my first thought was, "Damn these guys are good." After listening to the song about twenty more times, it was confirmed, these guys are damn good! This is one of those times where you hear someone and think,These guys are 100% legit."
May 26th Molina will be taking stage with two touring acts TubaFresh/ and The Coolots at one of Binghamton’s greatest eclectic venues Located on Avenue D (Avenue DIY) in Johnson City Come out for an amazing night of live music, and dancing with 3 great acts!
About Molina:
Alternative/ Rock band from Binghamton NY, formed in 2014 with the release of their debut EP album titled "Swing Devotion" in 2015. Sense the release of "Swing Devotion" Molina has gained attention in the music community with their influence from NY native bands "Interpol" and "The National" with enthralling guitar riffs, and ever driving bass lines, topped off with a distinct vocal range.
Molina was humbled to share the stage with 80's legend Tom Keifer from the iconic band "Cinderella". The response was overwhelming and sparked the band into releasing their 5 track EP "Swing Devotion" in late December 2015. This was the bands first time to show their true potential and Molina hoped to gain exposure locally and nationally with with their new album "Swing Devotion".
Sense then Molina has played countless shows gaining many loyal followers. They have obtained radio play and shared the stage with the best "Up and Coming" acts across the state. Molina has some big plans for the future and intend on making their music heard.

tubafresh is the solo project of Chanell Crichlow, who for the past several years fronted Brooklyn based, PitchBlak Brass Band. She creates lo-fi R&B in the hills of Sunset Park, Brooklyn using vocal falsetto, effected flugabone, drum machines and jazz-pop structures.
tubafresh will soon release her second cassette tape, Extra Syrup at the beginning of April 2018. https://tubafresh.bandcamp.com/ The CooLots are intersectionality personified. The Washington, D.C.-based band embodies a sound that the RAW community describes as a “melting pot of different styles and talents [that] come together to create feelings never experienced before.” The talented individuals that form this eclectic band each carry a style all their own; however, they come together to form a synergetic group that appeals to the eccentric in us all. The CooLots effortlessly move across a spectrum of genres including rock, alternative, indie, soul, and rhythm and blues, just to name a few. Their unbridled musicality is something akin to the sounds of No Doubt, M.I.A. Paramore, Sade, Staind, System of a Down, Jimi Hendrix, and N.E.R.D. Their head-bopping, hip-rocking, alternative style has given us high-energy and infectious anthems, such as America, N.U.N. and Doors. In addition to playing at prominent D.C. venues including the Howard Theatre and the Rock and Roll Hotel, The CooLots have brought their sound to the Brooklyn Museum, Rhinestone Steel in Pittsburgh, P.A. and various venues in the Northeast, earning them a national fanbase in the process. The CooLots are not here to fit in. They refuse to be bound by industry standards and societal expectations; rather, they use their platform to inspire personal evolution and growth. They are here to indulge the hip grinders, the lyrically inclined, the head bangers, and the soul sisters. After listening to The CooLots, you will imagine yourself unlimited. http://thecoolots.com/
