Bio:: Certainly no rock scene is stronger than the San Francisco Bay Area Rock scene, and the new band on the block creating quite a buzz is Pine and Battery. With Rick Munoz (drums), AJ Leighton (bass), Andy Weller (guitar) and Jeff Campbell (vocals and guitar), Pine and Battery combines years of experience with stellar talent. The four members come from a wide variety of musical backgrounds but share the common roots of rock and draw from their past band experiences to collaborate in a way that San Francisco hasn’t seen since it’s heyday. A Philadelphia native, Campbell moved to San Francisco specifically for the Rock scene he had heard was developing: "This town is full of so much culture and rock n' roll is the center of it." Campbell does a good deal of the band’s songwriting but asserts that when they come together in the studio or for rehearsals, it is always a collaborative effort with all four contributing equally. The band formed in 2005 when Campbell and Weller met at a friend's gig. They started collaborating on some of the music that Campbell had been writing; low and behold it was a solid match. Later added to the mix were Munoz and Leighton making up the rhythm section, bringing their current project into full fruition and releasing their first full length in late 2006. When asked who they sound most like, the answers vary from Jeff Buckley to U2 to Foo Fighters to Led Zeppelin to Alice in Chains. The common thread amongst the four members though is their strong allegiance to the classic rock of the 70s and then it’s resurgence again in the 90s. Pine and Battery have just released their newest effort entitled "2" to rave reviews. Campbell promised it to be “more raw and a bit more edgy”, and that it is. And now, with the same electrical current and persistence to make great music that originally drew the four members together they've returned to the studio in late 2010 to start tracking for a Spring 2011 release.
