With the wind of favorable reviews for their debut album "The Problems" at their backs, Frank Caiafa and company are convinced this compelling collection of new material will exceed all expectations.
THE PROBLEMS perform an infectious blend of Urban and Alternative Roots-Rock, citing acoustic/alternative rock/country and guitar based pop as influences - with perhaps a bit of punk.
