Description:
The Virgina Tech Union (VTU) Alternative Sounds presents its Spring Show featuring the lead singer of Bayside Anthony Raneri in an solo acoustic set and opener pop rock band Kingsfoil on Tuesday, April 23rd in the Old Dominion Ballroom.

I have spent the last 20 years making music. During the past 11, I have been the singer, songwriter, and guitar player in Bayside. Over the years I have written a lot of songs that I've loved, but knew that they didn't fit into the sound that we have crafted for Bayside. That being said, I have decided to launch a solo project: my outlet for songs that I've written that won't be used for my band. I have a very eclectic taste in music and I love exploring and writing in the various different styles that I enjoy listening to. Since I can't start a new side project every time I write a new style of song, I have decided to keep my solo project free of a genre classification. As evident on my first EP, "New Cathedrals", each song differs from each other, whether it be slightly or dramatically. If I write a song and I like it, I'm going to put it out regardless of it being country or reggae.

Central PA musical artist Kingsfoil focuses on finding ways to capture the emotional nuances of life through catchy lyrics and interesting music. Since hitting the music scene in 2007 with their debut EP “Bear in the Attic”, the indie pop rock band has shared dates with many national artists including Third Eye Blind, We The Kings, Creed, Anberlin, Everclear, The Ting Tings, Chiddy Bang, and Lovedrug.

Now riding on a Summer 2010 release of their critically acclaimed self-released LP “On Our Own Together,” the band continues to show they have a unique but enjoyable sound. Support from world renowned Philadelphia radio station 88.5 WXPN has helped the band dive headlong into conquering the mid-Atlantic region and beyond with energetic live performances and their signature songwriting. Kingsfoil frontman Jordan Davis’ strong vocals soar above carefully crafted arrangements by bandmates Tristan Martin (guitar, keys), Tim Warren (bass), and Frankie Muniz (drums). As their recent feature in Beatweek Magazine pointed out, “each new endeavor the Kingsfoil boys take on seems to make them increasingly popular and marketable.” At the very least they’re trying to make great music and have fun.
