The MahlorsThere
are many bands that fuse the sounds of Reggae and Rock. There are few
bands who can pull it off and make it their own. The Mahlors are not
just your ordinary band. The Mahlors were conceived by lead
guitarist/vocalist Justin Jones and lead vocalist/guitarist Kevin Gresh
in 2008. Pretty soon, Jones was writing song after song with Gresh, and
the two knew they were on to something. Drawing from a wide range of
musical influences that ranged from Bob Marley to Minor Threat, The
Police to N.W.A., to the jazz greats of Coltrane and Miles, they were
creating a unique take on the genre of Reggae. Jones and Gresh were
determined to start a band. The beginning of the band started with
Jones, Gresh, and their long-time friend and drummer, TJ Haslett. They
went through a line-up of bass players until they came across Anthony
Villar. The four instantly clicked. The vibes were on point and the band
set off to turn some heads. And turn heads they did. By 2009, the band
was playing non-stop all around the state of PA. They quickly became a
local favorite amongst all different age groups, all the while nobody in
the band was even over the age of 18. After gigging, the band finally
stepped in the recording studio to cut their first album. By the end of
the summer, they already sold over 100 self - made CD's. The Mahlors
weren't done yet. That same year in between shows, the boys went back
into the studio to produce their second album entitled Give In. It had
become even popular than their first. They continued to perform and were
racking up gigs almost every week. By 2010, the band had already opened
up for national acts such as The Supervillains, The Movement, Ballyhoo,
The Green, Bad Manners, The B Foundation, Iration, Echo Movement, and
many more. They were gathering up a loyal following all along the East
Coast. Kevin Gresh recently quit the group for personal reasons.
Although this set the group back, it did not stop them. Justin moved on
to vocal duties and guitar. They recently added longtime friend of the
band Ryan DeHaven to fill Kevin's spot. Ryan is playing guitar and
vocals. Even though he had big shoes to fill, he has done it with flying
colors. Now it is 2011, and The Mahlors are better than ever. Their
relentless gigging and dedication has served to establish themselves as
an incredible and unmissable live act. Their fan base is growing faster
than ever and people are swarming to see and hear the unique Reggae
vibes of The Mahlors!
