The Washups

The self proclaimed "Basement Rockers" come from a small town outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey. A blend of modern and classic rock influences combine in a multi-genre sampler that creates The Washups unique sound. Playing shows in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area, they have gained a loyal following and work diligently to support the Local DIY Music Community.

Although they went to the same schools since they were in first grade, their first meeting in a musical environment was in songwriting class while in high school. Jay Boyce (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), and Jamie Fortunato (vocals, lead guitar) teamed up to write some of <a href="spotify:artist:3MltgDxGInxojtjDFZo9Be" data-name="The Washups">The Washups</a> first songs. In a very short time they realized they needed a drummer. Their first choice, Josh Margulis (Drums) accepted the offer. Their first bassist, Zack Dix, played with them until 2021 when Brad Jones took over on bass.

They released their EP &#34;Better Late Than Never&#34; in November of 2018. In June of 2021 they released their full-length album “Shallow Pockets.” In July of 2025, they amicably decided to bring the band to a close, releasing a self-titled farewell EP and playing one final show in their hometown of ACNJ.
