Package was born in 1994 as a four piece hard rock band pulling influences from Misfits and early punk rock to Anthrax and other heavy hitters from the 1980's and 1990's. The original members consisted of: John Vickers (vocals), John Bush (guitar/vocals), Brock Allen (drums) and Greg Stansbury (bass/vocals). They were a frequent favorite of local radio station WQLZ and released two independent CDs.
The original lineup ultimately split ways in 1998 to pursue family and other interests at the time. But each member always held the Package material and music as a whole close to their hearts. Several members continued to pay homage to their Package roots in later bands by performing some of their favorite songs from the band.
In late 2011 it was officially announced that Package was reuniting with three of the original four members of the band and adding the talents of Tim Richter on bass and Dave Packer on guitar.
There are also several other bands going under this name, including the ska band who also has some great tunes up here on last.fm Please note that the only official Package (Twitter: @ThePackageBand - Facebook: facebook.com/packageband - Web: packageband.com) CD is the "broken box" cover.
