SF REJECTS
When four lifetimes of music collide, an explosion is inevitable. Meet SF Rejects, a new band bursting onto the San Francisco music scene.
The seasoned lineup reads like a who’s who of the SF Rock Underground.
Eric Borst, drummer, is known for his power, creativity, and ever-present grin. Eric debuted at the tender age of 14 with The Elliot Schnieder Band, and went on to play with Balls of Steel and Lethal Gospel. Eric is known for his touring and recording work with HeWhoCannotBeNamed of the Dwarves along with being a contributing member to The White Trash Debutants, The Lowdowns, the Nightcrawlers, and current band Bite.
Crazy Keith Mueller, guitarist, is a respected songwriter, singer and band leader. Keith cut his
teeth in the SF scene with well-loved bands House of Wheels and Touch Me Hooker. Known for his aggressive yet melodic guitar leads, Keith has been a mainstay of bands Bite and
HeWhoCannotBeNamed. He continues to record and tour with these bands, along with his acoustic project KC and the Clamps, and East Bay collective Elegant Trash.
Carmela Thompson, bassist, was a founding member of SF darlings and Rough Trade recording artists Short Dogs Grow. She has also provided the low end for Cameltoe, Hellfire Choir, The Meat Sluts and Class of ‘77. She is a veteran of multiple US tours and is known for her energetic
stage antics.
Darryl Stapleton is respected in both Canada and the U.S. as a talented songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. He began his musical journey with SF’s legendary bands Speed Queens and Wages of
Sin. Darryl later went on to play with Fallen Angel, White Trash Debutants, The Hell Brothers,
and Absinthe Boy. Darryl’s powerful voice and wide range is a perfect complement to the band’s melodic heavy rock sound.
SF Rejects builds on their strong legacy while maintaining a fresh, open take on rock n roll. While they give a nod to the past, their collective impact is only just beginning.

THE IFIC
Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area The Ific has been playing everywhere they can for the past few years and gained a well-deserved reputation as a fierce live act. Combining elements of power pop, 60’s garage, and punk rock they’ve created a rad fuzz-drenched sound that’s uniquely all their own.
These guys guy are veterans of bands such as The Outta Sorts, Hot Laundry, The Woggles, The Vendettas, and many other Bay Area garage and punk bands.
Their debut album, Meet The Ific, has 11 blistering tracks that you’ll want to play again and again and again. Check it out now, you’ll be glad you did!
