They’ve jammed with Lenny Kravitz. They've played Good Morning America. Their self-produced video is on MTV Tres. And they have a frontman who simultaneously sings and plays drums standing up!

This Miami-based pop-rock trio has it all: Great songs, extraordinary musicianship and hard-rockin' live shows. Their fun-yet-ferocious performances have earned them shared stages and studio gigs with Buck Cherry, Everclear, Scott Stapp (Creed), Tommy Lee (Rockstar Supernova, Motley Crue) and Vince Neil (Motley Crue). And due to their Latin roots and their prominence on the Miami music scene, they’ve also served as a back-up band for Soraya, Tego Calderon, Pepe Alva, Jorge Moreno, Paulina Rubio, Christian Castro, and a host of other Latin artists.

On stage, lead vocalist/stand-up drummer Derek Cintron delivers the material with incredible energy and passion, pushing his voice to the limit and pounding his drum kit as if his life depended on it. When compounded with Fernando Perdomo’s explosive bass playing and Tony Medina’s aggressive guitar work, the resulting physical performance is both powerful and riveting. Medina and Perdomo take on backing vocals as well, creating three-part harmonies that sweeten their fiery music.

They’re musical anomalies in Miami, where Latin dance and rap music styles abound. These guys have never wavered, sticking to rock n’ roll tooth and nail and making a name for themselves in the process. Without a doubt, the band has their own sound – and it’s a BIG one. It’s classic arena pop-rock, and it’s meant to be played in stadiums and amphitheaters. And while DC-3 definitely has the nostalgic, old-school pop-rock style down, they add a fresh spin to it with their high-energy performances. Maybe that’s what gives their music its timeless quality and appeal. Their stuff could be released in 1977 or 2007; either way it would still be relevant.

Lyrically, DC-3 nails it on the interpersonal/introspective stuff. “Too Much Time Has Passed” beautifully describes the inner turmoil encountered while trying to better one’s self. “Divorced” depicts an adulterous liaison with a married woman. On “Athena”, a lament about wanting to keep the girlfriend and “the girl on the side”, the vocal performance and the sentiment in the lyric is so genuine, you find yourself feeling for the guy! But that’s not even half the story, because the band covers as much ground lyrically as they do musically...
