**F.Y.P.** (aka Five Year Plan) was former World Industries/Liberty pro-skater Todd Congelliere's rock and pop-punk band from San Pedro, CA. The group began in 1989 as a one man band with a cheap Fisher Price drum machine providing the beat. F.Y.P gained notoriety in the DIY punk scene for touring the world several times before disbanding in 1999.
Todd Congelliere has been steadily releasing records of his own and of similarly minded individuals via his Recess Records imprint. Todd C’s releases may be the highlight though; between F.Y.P.’s early bratty punk, to the more mature melodicism of The Underground Railroad to Candyland, Toys that K*ll (named for a F.Y.P album), Clown Sounds, and even a band with Mike Watt called Jumpstarted Plowhards, Congelliere’s pop sensibility has only blossomed with age, churning out more and more memorable records as the years have rolled on.
In 2012, original members Congelliere and Sean Cole with two other members of Toys That K*ll, bassist Casey (Chachi) Ferrara and drummer Mike "Jimmy Jackets" Felix, reunited as F.Y.P.
Spirited garage rock outfit, **Mary Jam**, combines elements of DIY Punk, Surf Rock, and Grunge to create a blistering sound that will stick to you like day old chewing gum. Drummer Katy Fenasci, and guitar player and vocalist Alli KB have an intimate musical relationship that spans the greater part of five years, and culminated in the creation of Mary Jam after COVID-19 forced the pair into a year-long musical hiatus. Mary Jam describes their music as the theoretical result of a threesome between Dick Dale, Nirvana, and FIDLAR. The band also makes bold lyrical declarations in their music, sometimes singing about beer and surfing, and other times lamenting the over-militarization of police. Regardless of the topic, Mary Jam performs with enough grit and desperation to get even the weariest of punks out of their booth and onto the dance floor. To date Mary Jam has released four singles, and a rancorous EP “Hello, My Name is Not Mary." The band's most recent singles showcase their playful songwriting and witty lyricism making them ready to become Garage Rock anthems that any uncoordinated 20-something can relate to. Mary Jam has been playing a barrage of uproarious shows across the Midwest, and has no plans of stopping.
