Description

The story of RSP begins just South of Detroit in 1997. Longtime friends Jeff Howey (Guitar) and Darrell Robertson (Drums) found themselves in the midst of putting together a new music project and searching for a vocalist with a powerful and distinct voice. At just about the same time, longtime friend Rick Stafford returned to Detroit from several years in California, where he had honed his skills to become just the throat that Jeff and Darrell had in mind. The three had been friends as children, and now found themselves using that common bond as the starting point for something that would eventually become greater than each individual had ever dreamed.
The band known as Ray Street Park went on to release their self-titled debut in 1999, which sold more than 1,000 copies locally. Performing steadily as both an original band and a four set a night cover outfit, the band had grown leaps and bounds by the end of 2001. Then, emerging from Pete Bankert's infamous Rock City Studios in the fall of 2002 with their sophomore release "Lubricated", Ray Street Park had finally become the mature, emotion-laden, power-packed ball of thunder that the three founding members had envisioned six years before. One change, the addition of bassist Terry Alan Martin, formerly of well-known Detroit band Vinyl, has cemented the outfit as a true force to be reckoned with when you talk about hard music in the Motor City.
Now simply known as RSP, the band is charging forward into the future with a new attitude led by vocalist Rick Stafford's masterful stage presence and powerful throat. He is the frontman's frontman, and leads an RSP audience into rocking mayhem without fail.
Guitarist Jeff Howey is a diverse and schooled player with a flair for grinding crunch and an incredible command of his sound. On guitar, Jeff can do it all, and as the heart of the RSP sound, he truly gets a chance to.
Veteran Detroit scenester Terry Alan Martin is a rare and unique bassist, borrowing at equal times from Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) and Flea (RHCP) to create a truly unique tone. His fit with the band is exceptional and he is right at home in the clay just above the bedrock of planet RSP.
That bedrock is drummer Darrell "Rockquake" Robertson, a man posessed by the need to punish drum heads and pummel senses with his rhythmic assault. Robertson is an extraordinarily powerful player with an uncanny knack for nuance. He is foundationally strong and, with stunning ease, lays down the deep groove that RSP has become known for.
Confident, mature and ready to take the next step, RSP is now writing in anticipation of a new release to coincide with their all-out live assault on stages throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Look for the RSP live show to be one of power, conviction, energy and your basic unbridled sonic assault on the senses.
As world famous WRIF-FM 101.1 Detroit DJ Doug "The Doc of Rock" Podell says, "These guys are setting the standard for what Detroit rock is all about".
