Creem Circus has gathered a great following from being a part of the #teamgene world and for their contributions bringing back 70’s arena style rock. The Philadelphia band’s First release, Rock and/or Roll on Creep Records was released with global response and sales, demanding a Vinyl release after the initial success with digital, and hard sales. The band has been signed again for the upcoming 2017 release.
