Four guys from the New Jersey/ Philly area sounds like the most cliche story for a pop-punk band, but no one has more fun than the guys in Rushmore. Credited for their music sounding as flagrant as dragon-sized flames (don't worry, we don't understand that either) by Absolutepunk.net, the band is highly noticed for it's catchy hooks and anthematic sing alongs. This fun style, which is displayed both in the songs as well as an entertaining live show, has helped Rushmore win MTVu's Battle of the Bands last August and opened up for the Plain White T's in front of thousands of screaming fans. The band has also played a sold out with All Time Low last December along with over 250 shows along the east coast with bands such as Secondhand Serenade, I Am The Avalanche, Valencia, and Houston Calls (to name a few).
The band was also named one of the top 5 musical acts in the Philly Sound Clash which highlights acts in the Philadelphia area. Rushmore was the only punk band in the top 5. Rushmore was one of the top 25 unsigned bands according to MTVu and Drive Thru Records. Due to their success with MTVu, Rushmore was nominated for the MTVu Woodie Awards for the category of "Best Music On Campus." Rushmore is ready to break out of the local scene and onto a bigger stage.
