Restorations, hailing from the vibrant music scene of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a rock band that emerged from the ashes of the post-hardcore group Jena Berlin. The band's core members – vocalist and guitarist Jon Loudon, guitarist Dave Klyman, and original drummer Jeff Meyers (who later joined Belgrade and Ma Jolie) – have been making music together for over a decade.
Initially conceived as a "once-a-month/easy-band," Restorations has blossomed into a touring powerhouse, consistently hitting the road to share their music with dedicated fans. The band's musical journey began with a 7" release on Evil Weevil records, featuring the tracks "Frankford" and "Of Trees," which showcased their raw energy and musical prowess.
Their next step was a partnership with Paper + Plastick for their "Strange Behavior" EP, released digitally and on 10" vinyl. While this arrangement didn't last, it paved the way for Restorations' first full-length album, released on Tiny Engines. They subsequently partnered with SideOneDummy for their second and third albums, both recorded by Jon Low, a respected engineer who has worked with acclaimed acts like The National and Twin Sister at Miner Street Studio.
The band's fourth album, "LP5000," dropped in September 2018 on Tiny Engines, solidifying their status as a formidable force in the independent music scene. Their latest release, their self-titled fifth album, arrived in 2024.
