South Philly has always been a hotbed for bands and musicians. Everyone and their grandmother had a band at one point. Which means: everyone was in a band with everyone else at some point, except for these guys...until now.

​

For a few years, several such musicians (who had never played in a real project together) were like, "Hey, we should start a cover band!" And after a few years of talking about doing it, it finally got done.

​

The result is what you see before you: Sometimes Why (also known as "Sometimesy" to a select few in Stoke's Sports Bar), a bunch of idiot friends who make fun of each other all day and just so happen to play music well together!

​

Sometimes Why is comprised of members of some of Philadelphia's best original bands over the last two decades: Fat City Reprise, Tremor, Downspelle, Southwork, Nova, Distant Orange, Tommy Conwell. and cover bands The Business and CUZ. But now instead of making great music for the City of Brotherly Love, they've joined forces to play your favorite rock songs from Led Zeppelin to Incubus. "Only rock music?" you ask, oh hypothetical reader? Yes, only rock music.

​

Sometimes Why is Justin (guitar), Rocco (guitar), Joe (bass), Mark (vocals), and Crazy Uncle Jimbo (drums).
