Restorations (band)

Restorations is an American rock band, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.[2] They formed after the dissolution of Jena Berlin, post-hardcore band from Philly that featured guitarist/singer Jon Loudon on vocals, guitarist Dave Klyman, plus third guitarist Lee Hartney and original drummer Jeff Meyers (Belgrade, Ma Jolie). Originally considered to be a "once-a-month/easy-band" with limited touring[3] the band now tours regularly.

After that financial arrangement fell through[3] the band moved on to release their first LP on Tiny Engines.[5] Following this they partnered with SideOneDummy to release LP2 and LP3, both recorded by Jon Low, who has engineered and worked on records for the National, Twin Sister and more at Miner Street Studio. The band's fourth album LP5000 was released on September 28, 2018 by Tiny Engines.[6][7]
