Restorations (band)

Restorations is an American rock band, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.[2] They formed after the dissolution of Jena Berlin, post-hardcore band from Philly that featured guitarist/singer Jon Loudon on vocals, guitarist Dave Klyman, plus third guitarist Lee Hartney and original drummer Jeff Meyers (Belgrade, Ma Jolie). Originally considered to be a "once-a-month/easy-band" with limited touring[3] the band now tours regularly.
