Hailing from the same area as labelmates the Apers, Wiseguy started in 1996 as a punk rock outfit. Shaping into a hard rocking combo by the turn of the century, their Hellacopters-esque debut single was released by Stardumb Records in 2001. That single was followed by their only full length album 'Burning The Tracks' in 2003 and 3 songs on the Rock N Rolla Outta Controlla compilation (which was accompanying the Rock N Rolla tour with The Stilettos, 69 Charger, Black Rodeo and The Lulabelles) in 2004. By that time singer/guitarist David Pino's alt.country band El Pino And The Volunteers...

Les Wise Guys (« rusés, finauds ») sont un groupe de musique allemand dont la particularité est de chanter sans instrument. Créé au début des années 1990, ce groupe originaire de Cologne est devenu progressivement la référence allemande en matière de musique a cappella.

Très généralement, les Wise Guys se définissent comme un groupe pop, mais leurs influences jazz, swing, rock et parfois même reggae enrichissent leur musique. La grande majorité de leurs chansons, tantôt mélancoliques mais surtout rafraichissantes, allègres et pleines d'humour, sont...

All throughout the nineties, Philadelphia, USA's EDGEWISE toiled and labored to make their assault of metallic hardcore prominent in the ears of east coast hardcore and metal kids. They toured constantly, including a stint with the then-unknown GREEN DAY. Somehow, the band never had a proper full length released domestically. They had some songs on comps and seven inches and the like, and a full length overseas, but no nationally distributed full length in North America. Hence, THORP RECORDS has decided to salute EDGEWISE and brand them a part of our UNSUNG SERIES by bringing their history to the world...
