About Me

REST IN PEACE MIKE PRAYTOR.
Mike was the best friend Rec Park ever had. His death is a huge loss to all of us, Connecticut bands in general and especially his wife and kids. He'll be missed. Check out www.myspace.com/mikepraytor.

BOOK US. WE'RE FUN AND WE'LL PLAY MOST ANYWHERE.
Some bands claim lots of eclectic influences.
Some bands claim superb musicianship or Berklee educations.
Some bands have keyboards.
Some bands are attractive.
Some bands do tornado kicks on stage.
Some bands advertise "and a little jazz thrown in".
Some bands talk about the other bands they've "shared the stage" with.
Some bands wear eyeliner.
Some bands wish they had Greg for a singer.
WE DON'T
BOYS FROM RECREATION PARK are good clean fun. We're a bunch of ex-hardcore and metal kids who play rock for the sake of FUN.
Charlie wrote all the songs on "A Good Time Had By All" about John Cusack and Winona Ryder movies.
Try to figure out which ones are which.
He wrote all the songs on our new one about the second season of "Party of Five."
Yes that's amazing, and no we're not kidding
Our songs are short but packed with goodness, much like Twinkies but not as fattening.
Our CD "A Good Time Had By All" is out and features artwork by Comic Book and ADULT SWIM artist JON ROSETTI.
We have 3 new REC PARK t-shirts, produced by ex-Victory Records BURY YOUR DEAD/CT hardcore legends GROUNDZERO bassist Rich Casey. If you want one, catch us at a show or email us here.
In other namedropping news, Greg used to share a house with GREG WOOD of PUNCHLINE, and Charlie once wrestled RAY CAPPO of YOUTH OF TODAY/SHELTER/BETTER THAN A THOUSAND and lost. Ghordo isn't friends with the guys in ALKALINE TRIO but he sure wishes he was.
We're gonna sell out and be famous and Mena Suvari is going to be Greg's future ex-girlfriend.
Our CD "A Good Time Had By All" is out now and available at shows!
click on the photos to see an enlarged view of our new t-shirts.
