Personally, I was unfamiliar with The Rods when their moniker surfaced in the roster of bands at Sweden Rock 2014. After posting a photo of the day’s schedule on Facebook, a friend whose musical taste is exquisite told me to see them. He continues to hold his title and was not wrong by any means. Subsequently, three of The Rods albums joined my collection.
They have been announced as the headliners for the Electric City Music Conference in Scranton, PA in September. Here’s the full press release below:

For immediate release and posting:
Veteran New York heavy metal power trio THE RODS have been confirmed to headline a special outdoor concert at Thirst T’s Bar & Grill on Saturday, September 17, as part of the 2016 Electric City Music Conference.
The event, which includes a music festival, music conference, and music award ceremony, takes place every fall in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The ECMC takes place across multiple venues throughout Scranton (and the surround areas).
Over two days (Friday and Saturday), Downtown Scranton is transformed into a music hotbed. Bands from across the United States descend upon Scranton to mix with NEPA’s vast talent pool of local bands. Scranton’s best bars and venues play host to a plethora of music that spans all styles and genres.
