Energy, Passion, and Inspirational are the First 3 words that come to mind when attending Nation Of Wealth’s concert. Their stage presence compliments their sound!!! With Rock on the verge of extinction, Nation Of Wealth is the band Of Renaissance. J Rock Staffierri, event coordinator of the State Theater of St. Petersburg Florida said, “These guys are a breath of fresh air and uplifting. What rock has needed for many years!”

          What makes up Nation Of Wealth’s sound? Let’s see!!! Harmonies, Harmonies, and did I mention Harmonies? From beginning to end of their debut album, One Nation @ A Time, not one song sounds alike. Which means, no one will get burnt out on their music while attending their show or listening to Nation Of Wealth’s album.

 

          Nation Of Wealth has learned the secret of life. They WANT to be Rock Stars and they are doing whatever it takes to achieve that goal. To them, it is not just a name. It's a way of life. "Wealth isn't just about how much money you have. It is about how much LOVE and HAPPINESS you have in your life also," said James Loiero, bass player for Nation Of Wealth.

 

          But these five guys from Homosassa Springs, a small town just north of Tampa Florida, know all about LOVE AND HAPINESS. Three of them have loving children and know what it takes to put food on the table. Keeping full time jobs, being Dads and performing their music is no small task for them to juggle. Nation Of Wealth keeps impressing every new person that hears them perform with the support of their families, hard dedication and sacrifice.

 

          Nation Of Wealth is revolutionizing the way rock music sounds today. Exploiting their duel lead vocals. Peter Loiero and Glenn Hackney provide strong melodic HARMONIES with energy and emotion, producing a vocal driven band. Mark McMillen (drums) combines soul and timing with a Metal energy not heard in quite a while. James Loiero will pulsate your heart with his animating and soulful bass lines. Joe "THE REGULATOR" Loiero, hence the eldest brother of the trio, has a unique blend of notes and chords that will fill a room with a binding sound.

 

          The band's sound sets emotion that derives from the varying influences of each band member. The three brothers of five, grew up during their younger years in the suburbs of Syracuse, New York listening to Punk, Hip-Hop and Alternative Rock. While Glenn lived all of his days in Florida, jamming to the Classics and good old southern rock. Glenn was very much intrigued by the likes of Pink Floyd and The Doors, including his now a day favorite Tool. Mark grew up in the Chicago area, banging his head to the smashing songs of KISS.

 

          When combined with a fun and energetic stage presence, you absolutely embrace the nature of Nation Of Wealth. The bands material combines fresh lyrics with solid guitar work and explosive drums.

 

          Nation Of Wealth would like to Thank all their friends and family for their continued support. Oh and yes, definitely their Fans. Without them, this would not be possible at all.
