"B101.5"

"...Traffic On The Backbone has continuously offered unsurpassed sound. When the band emerged onto the scene, they brought a heavy, highly energetic vibe. When Jody expresses his vocal talents over TOTB's thunderous rhythm delivered by Donnie on drums and Ron on bass, and the thrashing, urgent riffs of Rob & Mike on guitar - Traffic On The Backbone create a unique intoxicating energy of Contemporary, Classic & Alternative Rock. It's extremely evident that the music industry here in Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia for that matter is littered with Pop throwaway bands, high ticket prices for poor garage-sounding groups, American Idol wannabees and bands who's only fame and playing experience came from Youtube or Myspace. The days of real rock bands being together a few years slugging it out on stages night after night to carve out an identity, unique sound, and a kick ass stage show…seemed now a distant memory or few and far between until Trafffic On The Backbone came alive in Central Virginia. TOTB excels at performing the best most popular rock songs with energy and accuracy. The band provides a fun, engaging, and entertaining show tailored to their fan's preferences. With the winning combination of top musicianship, years of experience, commanding guitar riffs and crisp vocal harmonies, the band is sure to get and keep your crowd on the dance floor!" ---Bill Carroll - Distant Star Talent/WBQB B101.5 FM

Bio

Better Days is an established, high energy rock & party band from Fairfax, Va. The group’s mix of current rock with classic, nostalgic tunes and well-placed vocal harmonies provides a bit of a unique twist to those covers you’ve come to love! This mix, combined with a high energy stage performance gives them a distinctive sound and appeal to their audience. Great music with those sing-along hooks that we all know and love will always keep you coming back for more!

The band is currently booking gigs at many local venues in the Northern Virginia area. We tailor our set-list for each event and enthusiastically promote via social media including Facebook and our band website (www.betterdaysband.com). We regularly perform for a broad range of fans in a wide range of venues in Northern Virginia. From family friendly festival crowds to rowdy college bars – Better Days has entertained them all.

What started as a friendly jam with a couple of friends in 2010 began picking up steam as the guys started playing for small crowds at the local watering hole and backyard BBQ's. As time progressed and friendly (totally biased of course) audiences provided plenty of positive feedback, we decided to take it up a notch. Over the next couple of years, the group has morphed into one of the better cover bands in NoVa. The guys genuinely play for the love of music and it comes out in their performance. Better Days is comprised of Dennis Mayer, our dynamic front-man, Tony Finley on Bass, Jeff Arnold on Rhythm Guitar, Rob Jones on Lead, and Drew Young behind the kit. Although each of the members has his own impressive resume, the collection is truly more than the sum of the parts. You’ll hear subtle hints of many influences ranging from Skynyrd, Tom Petty & Poison to the Zac Brown Band within our sound. We love music, and love sharing that with our audiences. So come on down to our next gig, grab a frosty brew, and roll back with us to Better Days.
