About This Item
Bump is the child brain of three talented musicians based just outside of Chicago, Il. Joe Rocha (Bass/Vocals), Jay Rocha (Drums), and Dave Benziger (Guitar, Vocals). They have been playing as side musicians for other artists in the Chicago area for over 20 years and have recently had the time and opportunity to record their own debut, self-titled album.

There's even a punk cover of the Tom Jones classic, InchIt's Not Unusual.Inch You may even notice something that you may have never seen (well, heard) on a CD before - outtakes tracks. They're snippets of funny goof-ups, goof-offs, and nonsense that were recorded while the band rehearsed for the actual recording sessions and during the recording sessions themselves! The CD itself was recorded at one of the most famous recording studios in music history - the legendary Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. Some of the artists that have recorded there are Led Zepplin, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Sheryl Crow, and Paul McCartney, just to
