"Justin DiFebbo's debut record is an alluring seduction, presenting an aural collision of Brian Wilson's songwriting, Neil Young's vocal vulnerability and Simon and Garfunkel's simplistic complexity — all pinned against fresh-sounding Fountains of Wayne arrangements and soft-pop production."

So mused one reviewer about his first record, Turn Out the Light, Turn on the Stereo... and he was right. DiFebbo draws heavily from the styles and feel of songs from previous eras. Another critic writes "...in some cases, these styles have been left behind because they were so perfectly executed; in others, because they feel shrink-wrapped in another era – but DiFebbo sidesteps those pitfalls by continually incorporating his own unique post-modern quirkiness."

And now DiFebbo is back with his unique blend of lush vintage keyboard driven songs with his upcoming release, Skin and Bones. The singles ‘Blue Melody’ and ‘Adrift’ combine Good Vibrations organ, Riders on the Storm electric piano, Crimson and Clover tremolo guitars with Floydian atmosphere and textures. Music lovers of a bygone era are sure to enjoy what Skin and Bones has to offer.
DiFebbo makes his home in the Philadelphia area... a scene that has influenced countless past masters. Perhaps he came up in the wrong era. Whether he's writing and recording his own songs, gigging out with the brilliant 60′s-esque AM pop group Summer Fiction, or playing Hammond Organ with his old blues rocking band K-Floor, DiFebbo always seems rooted in some sort of throwback reverie.

Quotes about Justin DiFebbo:

"Despite my appreciation and personal affection for the record, I realize that it may come across a bit sleepy at times to today's sophisticated Nickelback-charged iGeneration. However, anyone with "Harvest ears" certainly will recognize that this seven-song collection is a miniature-size modern masterpiece." - Christopher Long

"...a refreshing collection of Beach Boys/Simon and Garfunkel/Pink Floyd/Beatles-influenced material all woven into a magically unique tapestry that is clearly DiFebbo's." - Ink 19

"Justin DiFebbo steps out to the front of the stage and makes a strong case for the spotlight with the soulful and psychedelic blues-drenched folk-rock, memorable melodies and creative arrangements of his very promising debut solo effort, Turn Out The Light, Turn On The Stereo." - Justin Kreitzer

"This seven-song journey accomplishes something bigger than paying tribute to these largely discarded song styles. It makes their absence from the current musicscape feel like a minor tragedy." - Nick DeRiso
