The Philtons – Email The Philtons
"The Philtons' climb to the paramount of the New York rock scene started as "The Paris Hiltons." Having gained a buzz under their former name, they got tired of riding her coattails, (well, at least her tail) and decided to become simply, The Philtons.
Based on true original rock and roll done the American Way, they've built a following of people who love straight ahead rock with a little jam spread on top. They are currently working on a new release recording tracks in Brooklyn, NY"

“The opening chords of “On and On" pulled me right in and made me an instant Coppersonic fan. Band members and collaborators John Truelove and John Carini present their songs in a very old time rock/blues fashion that fits their writing style like a glove…” were the words of Good Times Magazine writer Dan Brown after listening to Coppersonic’s debut CD.
“A stripped down band with a stripped down almost live off the floor sound”, Coppersonic takes the elements found in rock, blues and country to create music with deep, traditional American roots. The band’s three members write songs that bring to mind the raw swagger of the Rolling Stones and the live power of the Allman Brothers at the Filmore East.
