• QUICK BIO:
Encompassing the experiences of each of its members -- which range from hardcore bands and thunderous rock groups to jazz ensembles and acoustic duos -- Fosterchild truly is the sum of its parts with a synergy that often proves to be much wiser than its years.
"Coming from different bands and a life time of searching for that ‘perfect sound,’ we were at first uncertain of what direction we were headed in musically,” explains founder and guitarist Brian Quinn. “However, after months of writing and jamming together, it all just came together organically. By feeding off one another’s style, experience and influences, we established the sound that we had each spent years trying to find.”
Their influences, which ranges from AC/DC and The Cult to Elvis Presley and The Byrds, are evident in such stand-out tracks as the ethereal “Don’t Let Go,” the pulse-pounding “On My Own" and the anthemic “Mission.”
Featuring an eclectic mix of gritty blues, thunderous riffs and melodic harmonies into one unique sound, the band that once couldn’t find its place in music has somehow taken the long road home.

• BIO:
Fosterchild’s sound and style are reminiscent of a time when rock n’ roll still had swagger and music still served as the Saturday night hymnal to its fans. A throwback, if you will, Fosterchild prides itself on respecting the past in order to find its future. Encompassing the experiences of each of its members -- which range from hardcore bands and thunderous rock groups to gritty blues acts and acoustic duos -- Fosterchild truly is the sum of its parts with a synergy that often proves to be much wiser than its years. "Coming from different bands and a life time of searching for that ‘perfect sound,’ we were at first uncertain of what direction we were headed in musically,” explains founder and guitarist Brian Quinn. “However, after months of writing and jamming together, it all just came together organically. By feeding off one another’s style, experience and influences, we established the sound that we had each spent years trying to find.” Their influences, which ranges from AC/DC and The Cult to Elvis Presley and The Byrds, are evident in such stand-out tracks as the ethereal “Don’t Let Go,” the pulse-pounding “On My Own" and the anthemic “Mission.” Featuring an eclectic mix of gritty blues, thunderous riffs and melodic harmonies into one unique sound, the band that once couldn’t find its place in music has somehow taken the long road home.
• PRESS:
“If there’s one thing I miss about today’s rock bands, it’s guys that can actually sing, can actually play, and can actually do it live. Just like the bands from back in the day, Fosterchild does all three of those things.”
- Spike, Assistant Program Director and Music Director for 94.1 WYSP Philadelphia
“Fosterchild takes elements of the rock world that fueled two past eras of rock music and fused them with modern sensibilities that are flavored with southern rock with a dose of attitude.”
- Chris Beaumont, BC Magazine
“Take these orphans of rock into your home (or ipod) and give them a little attention; Independence Day is worth a listen and don’t be surprised if it ends up in your most recently played list on iTunes.”
- Ronald Gross, Blogger News
“Brian Quinn on guitar is magic.”
- Liz Ludlam, Rock On Request Magazine
“Independence Day is, for the most part, radio ready and should be able to earn the band a minor hit.”
- Richie Pirone, Stream of Consciousness
“Not only are they incredible musicians but they have a great stage presence and stance about them.”
- Stacy Arrington, Concert Attack
“Fosterchild is a fusion of talents …a down and dirty rock n’ roll band.”
- Myrtle Beach Sun News
"One thing that was crazy was to see Brian Quinn…rocking out on the guitar all night like it was something he could do in his sleep. The dude was amazing to watch all night."
- Rob Thompson, WBEAR’s “Rock Report”
“Old school rock from this great new band! Philadelphia, PA sons, Fosterchild, bring back the glory days of rock n’ roll with this killer album! Tight balls-out rock accentuated with charistmatic vocals by Danny Beissel! This band is sexy, suave and scintillating! If you’re a rocker, don’t let Fosterchild slip past you.”
- Away-Team (voted Top 10 Best New Band of 2008)
“Independence Day is an album that fires on all cylinders. There are no filler tracks or sappy ballads; just pure rock 'n' roll the way it is supposed to be delivered: lean, mean and in your face. Don't pass up an opportunity to check this release out.”
- John Kindred, Hard Rock Haven
“Fosterchild is one of the strongest, most hard driving bands I have heard in a long time. A vocalist that sounds like a young Ian Astbury (The Cult). This is the up and coming band to watch, mark my words...this is the real deal.”
- John Huntington, Tattoo artist & star of TV’s Inked
"In 2007, Philadelphia’s Fosterchild issued their debut disc, Independence Day, on SMG Records. Since then, the rhythm section has been replaced and the band self-released their new EP, Under The Influence Vol. 1. Melody-driven hard rock infused with gritty blues in the vein of Tesla and Shinedown, these six songs are as authentic and honest as it gets. From the tender acoustic strains of ‘Coming Up’ to the Sunset Strip styled ‘Anywhere (Sundown)’, Fosterchild strike just the right chord. The soulful sincerity in Danny Beissel’s voice is the perfect accompaniment to Brian Quinn’s no frills approach to guitar. Personifying blue-collar American rock ‘n roll, Fosterchild make the day’s hardships disappear, replacing them with easily identifiable and truly timeless tunes."
