About Me

Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A., The Professors specialize in one thing, and one thing alone: hip-shakin, rafter-swingin, barn-stormin rock 'n' roll. These five dropouts offer up a suitable alternative to higher education via trashy 12-bar rave-ups and an incendiary (or at least, incandescent) live act. Taking their cue from such legendary raunch-n-rollers as THE SONICS, THE WILDE KNIGHTS, and THE SPARKLES, The Professors have made it their mission to deliver the Now-Sound to the untamed youth of today.
Richard M.F. Stockton XII swings the mic, while Mat Webster and Paul Kennedy assault a wide range of vintage guitars... Derek Gullett pummels the bottom end until the last beer glass rattles off the table... Meanwhile, resident man-about-town Phil Ravenous Cavenous tears the kit a new one.
