PARIS KEELING - Powerful Symphonic Rock

What people are saying about End of Ride: "It's sad that mainstream rock has to sound like mainstream rock. There used to be a time when innovation, melody, lyrical brilliance and above all - musicianship - actually meant something. If you want to drift back to those days, check out the new CD from Paris Keeling, End of Ride; it's all of the above, and then some... And just to clear things up, Kelly Keeling is one of the Top 10 voices in rock and metal today. There, cleared."

Kelly Keeling, co-founder of Paris Keeling and the band's lead vocalist, commenced his career in music over 25 years ago at the age of 14. In 1990, he joined the rock band Baton Rouge as a vocalist and guitar player, and shortly thereafter the band was signed by Ahmet Ertegan of Atlantic Records. Their album Shake Your Soul was released followed by Lights Out on the Playground a year later. That same year, Kelly was involved with his first platinum album, Alice Cooper’s Hey Stoopid, co-writing the song "Snakebite".

Marty Paris, co-founder of Paris Keeling and featured guitarist, is best known for creating the Skulls Project - a collaboration of independent musicians in Hoboken, New Jersey. Their last project First Rites, was released in 2005 and several of the tracks on Paris Keeling's End of Ride including "Color Blind" and "Tears of Heaven" have their roots in that project. He also was a member of the band Pamlico Sounds dating back to the 80’s (as compiled from the bands website).

Other members: Rick Van Benschoten , Matt Goeke, and Gintas Janusonis.
